Christmas in the Ramblas

Every year by Christmas time, Amics de la Rambla, an Association of shops, neighbours and friends of this famous avenue, organise a concert and a big "xocolatada" (chocolate with some cookies and sweets) to celebrate the upcoming days.

The concert has been offered by two musical groups:

- Musical's Choir: composed by young musical singers that offered some of the well-known songs of the Miserables, Frozen, Beauty and the Beast, among some typical Christmas carols.

- 17 downstairs: a group of young rock & soul promises that offered some well-known hits.

Meanwhile, the "xocolatada" took place and was offered by shops and restaurants of the Ramblas or close to them, such as: Granja Viader, Café de la Opera, Hard Rock Café Barcelona, Boqueria Market and others.

A great way to share catalan traditions for Christmas in the Ramblas!

Fira de Sant Ponç

The street fills with stalls selling the typical produce of Catalonia, natural products and medicinal herbs, with their different colours and aromas. This fair dates back to 1871. The Costumari català (Catalan Customs) attributes the worship of Sant Ponç (Saint Pontius) to the old church at the Hospital de la Santa Creu (Hospital of the Holy Cross) where herbs were blessed.
