Christmas activities in Barcelona for families with kids

Christmas with kids in Barcelona

Alexandra Lussmann 2 Comments

Barcelona is beautiful during Christmas. The lights are lit, the chestnuts are roasting on street corners and the mood is cheerful and jolly. Over the holiday period, there really is a lot to do, especially if you are visiting Barcelona at Christmas with kids. From markets to funfairs to parades, there is plenty to entertain the young ones. My family and I love this time of the year in the city and can’t wait!  If you are here at this magical time, read on to find out what to do with kids in Barcelona for Christmas.

Things to do with kids in Barcelona at Christmas (2019-2020)

Three Kings Parade

Presents are given in Spain by the Three Kings, not Father Christmas or Santa Claus. The traditional letter is written and posted to the Kings in advance. However, if you miss the post, don’t worry, your kids can personally hand it to one of the Kings’ eighty assistants in the parade. Phew! This happens to me every year.

La Cabalgata de Reyes is the name of this magical parade held on the night of January 5th. Balthazar, Caspar and Melchior arrive in considerable style at the Port of Barcelona amidst lights, music and fireworks. They then begin their slow procession through part of central Barcelona. Aside from the Kings, there are the pages and helpers who throw sweets out to the waiting crowds lining the entire route. The parade includes professional artists and volunteers that bring it to a total of 12 floats and well over 1,000 participants! This is an absolute MUST for all children while in Barcelona.

There are a number of Kings Parades around the city in the different barrios but the biggest one will take place in the centre, starting at Ciutadella Park at 6pm.

Christmas Fairs

Outside the Cathedral is the famous Fira de Santa LLúcia. Thought to have started as far back as 1786, this is a wonderful place to take the kids and really start to get into the Christmas spirit. If you are lucky, you might come across La Carassa de Barcelona, a big head depicting a Turkish warrior spitting candy out of his mouth. I am sure your children will love that.

The newer Feria de Navidad de la Sagrada Familia started up in the 1960s is located in front of Sagrada Familia. It feels special walking around this market with the imposing basilica as the backdrop!

Giant nativity scene

Every year at Placa de Sant Jaume you can find a giant Nativity scene or “pesebre”. In 2019, Paula Bosch is the artist in charge of the decoration and it has two sides to it. North, you will see a cityscape, nicer to see at night time when lit. South, is where the actual nativity scene is. A deconstructed one if you like, with each of the traditional characters and Catalan Christmas classics still stored in boxes and ready to unpack.

You can see it on display from November 29th to January 6th. Each year is a different modern take on a traditional theme. There are always people who love it and people who hate it so let us know what you think.

The Circus

Circ Raluy is a lovely tradition in Barcelona and they visit every year with a new show. Get taken back in time with this historic travelling human circus and museum of old caravans. Fancy spending the night? That’s an option too! The circus will stay in the city way past Christmas, from November 29th to February 16th.

El Tió de Nadal

If you have taken a Gothic Quarter Free Walking Tour with us, you’ll be familiar with the Catalan Christmas tradition of El Tió de Nadal. There’s no getting away from it, this is an odd custom! A log that poops presents?! Of course. And the kids LOVE it!

This giant smiling log, covered with a red blanket so he stays warm, is put on display in front of the Cathedral and all children under the age of 12 are encouraged to approach him. They then wallop him with a stick and wait to see what treats he… delivers! You can have a wack most mornings from 10.30am to 1.30pm until December 19th. We took a video of the children beating El Tió so you can see it in action.

Ice skating

Head out of the centre to La Farga Centre d’Activitats or L’Illa Diagonal Shopping Centre At these temporary ice rinks you can skate and toboggan as well as book to see music shows and circus workshops.

Plaça Catalunya activities

Every year Plaça Catalunya hosts the Responsible Consumption and Social and Solidarity Economy Fair. In 2019, the 5th edition of this fair will bring 60 social and solidarity economy projects to the centre of Barcelona. A great way for kids to learn about responsible consumption.

The little ones will definitely love what the City Council has prepared in 2019 to celebrate Christmas in Plaça Catalunya. The square will transform into a magical forest with giant luminous rabbits. The traditional Christmas carols will be sung there too accompanied by a small orchestra. And all over the place, different eccentric characters will roam and also do a show involving storytelling. My favourite one has to be the “Catalan Christmas log trainer”. Looking forward to seeing what they have prepared this year.

The activities take place from December 20th to December 31st, except on Christmas Day. If you are here after New Year’s Eve, from the 2nd to the 4th of January, the little ones will have the opportunity to give their wish-list to the pages of The Three Kings. A great photo op and… who knows? maybe your kids can receive new presents this year all the way from the Orient.

Happy Christmas and New Year everyone! I hope you have a fantastic time here in Barcelona. And, if you want something special for your kids, don’t miss our Kids & Family Private Tour around the Gothic Quarter. A very unique way of learning in a fun way for all the family.

Extremely Professional and well conducted Tour . Our Guide Alberto was extremely knowledgeable and insightful. Even though I was with a child of 10 years of age he engaged with her and kept her engrossed and attentive... to all the information about Gaudi. We really enjoyed the tour with him and did not know how quickly the 2.5 hrs passed. We are looking forward to the next tour with Runner Bean today the Gothic Quarters . Definitely when in Barcelona this is the company to look up .read more

We just finished a tour of the Gothic old part of the city with Jarrod and what a great way to get to know the city. Jarrod was super nice and knowledgeable, kept great pace and made sure to find spots for us to sit and... keep in the shade. He was also very generous with recommendations of places to see,eat and how to get around. Two and a half hours flew by quickly and we got to see so many interesting spots. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to explore Barcelona. :)read more

I did both of the free walking tours on two consecutive days. Both are very interesting and you learn a lot. Personally, I liked the Gothic Tour with Ann-Marie even a bit more.What is important to know? Well: first of... all, you should be able to understand English ;) furthermore, you should wear sunscreen (as everywhere in Barcelona) and you should wear comfortable shoes, since you will both walk and stand a lot.read more

I was always little skeptical about organized waking tours. But Jarrod changed my mind completely. Excellent tour of Gothic Square with a lot of city history facts and some legends that you don’t expect. We highly... recommend this tour and Jarrod especially. See you next time.read more

We joined the family guided tour through the Gothic Quarters with our 10 yr old. Lisa is a fantastic guide, excellent storytelling that was captivating for all ages and with a big heart for Barcelona and Catalunya which... helps both big and small appreciate the history, heritage and beauty of the place. We took the tour on our first day which served as a great introduction for the next days. We also came back to some of the places we discovered on the way in the tour for eating and shopping. Lisa - warm regards from our family and thank you for hosting us!read more

His enthusiasm and love for the city was infectious and he did a marvellous job of talking us through the... history and culture of Barcelona. He was full of practical tips and advice and went out of his way to accommodate us.I use a wheelchair - the tour was wheelchair accessible (we stopped for a break half way through and there is a starbucks that has an accessible toilet!)read more

Albert was our tour guide. He was attentive, very knowledgeable and provided an entertaining walk through Barcelona. He was happy to respond to questions and provided many historical details throughout the tour. I’d... highly recommend his tour. However, I think tourists need to understand that this tour is just over 2 hours long.We enjoyed Albert’s passion for history. We ourselves enjoyed it. But others may have found it a bit long.Thanks Albertread more

Incredible experience in Barcelona! We were traveling with our 5 year old daughter and it is hard to find activities that would keep the whole family engaged. This tour did just that. We learned so much about the city... and our daughter had a blast making new friends and completing activities. Highly recommend and wish every city offered this type of family activity. Ann-Marie was a wonderful tour guide and so great with the kids. By far our best day in Barcelona!read more

Lisa was spectacular. She was very knowledgeable, kind and she went at a great pace. She gave us so much information that helped us understand the history of Catalonia but she went further to help us connect to the... culture of Catalonia today. Lisa took the time to answer questions and gave us great tips to make the most of our trip. She also has great recommendations for restaurants, places to see and how to get around. The tour was great and Lisa was really terrific.read more

We took a 2 1/2 hour walking tour of the Gothic quarter with Anne-Marie from Runner Bean tours. She was incredibly knowledgeable and obviously passionate about both the city where she lives and the history! Full of... information and details about every site we visited and we heard so much that’s not included in any other trip. Very interactive with the group and put every single person at ease. She was an absolute mine of local information and recommendations at the end - which we personally used for meals and other sites to visit. These guys work on a donation system and be prepared to give them every euro that you feel they are worth. We took two of their tours and they were the highlight of our trip to Barcelona!!read more

I showed up on an earlier day for my city tour and Lisa was nice enough to let me join anyway. Her presentation was both enlightening and fun. She had personal stories and on the spot observations to share which made it... feel fresh. Her diction was very easy to understand and she was pleasant to listen to. Believe me I have been on some tours where the guides had annoying pet phrases like 'alright?' 'um' etc.. that can be tiresome to listen to for 2.5 hours. Lisa took personal interest in her guests and made the effort to talk to us individually whenever possible. Her food suggestions were great. I highly recommend going on her tour!read more

We had a very informative, well researched and extremely interesting tour with Miguel today of Runner Bean Tours. He pointed out interesting facts we would never discovered on our own, not to mention little known... facts. It was highly informative. Do yourself a favor, and sign up for one of the tours. We have been on two now, and we’ll worth the time! You will enjoy Miguel, a very personable person and a great guide. He will make you fall in love with Barcelona.read more

I did the Gaudí walking tour. We saw Palau Güell, Casa Batlló, Casa Milà/La Pedrera and Sagrada Família. There are more Gaudi things to see but this is an excellent introduction to Gaudí.Miguel was the guide and he... was brilliant. I also did the official Sagrada Família tour and the things Miguel told us were far more interesting than the official tour!!!I highly recommend this tour and I’m sure the other tours they offer are just as good!!!read more

I booked the group tour for the Gothic quarter but obviously due to the current circumstances I was the only one on the tour. Hence, my fantastic tour guide Lisa gave me a private tour and it was super interesting. I... really learned a lot and it's a great way of discovering Barcelona. Highly recommended for anyone who comes to BCN! It's so important to also learn about the history and culture. A fantastic tour. Greetings to Lisa.read more

We had a very short time in Barcelona so to make the most of the time we had, we decided to do a walking tour. I'm so glad we chose Runner Bean Tours. We did the Antoni Gaudí tour with Lisa and thoroughly enjoyed it.... Even our children were engaged throughout thanks to Lisa's gift for storytelling and bringing you on a journey with her tour. Given the current climate in Spain with few foreign tourists visiting, we were in a unique position to enjoy an almost private tour in a very quiet city...an experience we will probably never have the opportunity to have ever again. We enjoyed the Gaudí tour so much that we booked the Gothic tour the very next day and were lucky enough to have Lisa as a guide once more. Again, a wonderful tour delivered in an engaging and really entertaining way. Lisa's knowledge of the history of Barcelona shines through and her passion for this wonderful city is absolutely contagious. Highly recommended for the whole family ♥️👌read more

He also gave us lots of recommendations for places to eat and drink in the city, and even helped us mark them on google maps. He also took some great pictures for us. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend runner bean tours. Thank you Miguel for giving us such an insightful experience!read more

We have done a lot of walking tours all over the world and this was by far our favourite. Miguel was very knowledgeable and funny and made this an enjoyable experience. It is clear that Miguel loves what he does and... made sure that we had fun too. There were only 2 others on the tour with us and he made sure we were safe and distanced and everyone wore their masks to make sure we all felt safe and comfortable. I 100% recommend doing this tour - especially if with Miguel if possible! Gracias for a lovely few hours in Barca!! :)read more

Last weekend, we took all our photography equipmen Last weekend, we took all our photography equipment to capture unusual views of some of the highlights of Barcelona. 

These 4 images are just some of what we saw.

Below is the explanation of how we did it but... we also used a trick! Do you know which one? 😉

⛪ Sagrada Familia. Gaudí's unfinished work is the symbol of Barcelona. We captured the Nativity Façade in all its glory, without any construction cranes.

🏛️ Plaça Sant Jaume. We climbed to the top of the Generalitat Palace to get a bird's view of the iconic government's square.

⚓ Columbus Monument. We took the lift to the top for nice views of Barcelona and to try to emulate the work of famous Catalan photographer Francesc Català-Roca

🏰 La Pedrera & Casa Batlló. Both Gaudí buildings are located at Passeig de Gràcia. We used a very long telephoto to bring them closer to each other.
