Christmas Fair at Creu Coberta
By Charlotte Stace
The III Fira de Nadal a Creu Coberta is a Christmas fair where Barcelona’s Hostafrancs neighbourhood truly comes alive. For nearly three weeks, the bustling Creu Coberta and Diputació streets are sprinkled with twinkling lights, colourful stalls and a festive atmosphere that makes wandering around feel like being inside a snow globe - minus the cold!
The fair brings together artisans, local shops and community groups selling everything from handmade jewellery and toys to seasonal treats and decorations. There are creative workshops to join, traditional visits from Father Christmas and the Three Kings, and even magical “snowfall” moments.
Best of all, it’s free to explore, so you can sip, shop and soak up the holiday spirit with friends or family. The fair will run until January 5th, making it the perfect place to shop for Christmas and Three Kings presents alike.
