With beautiful old buildings, narrow streets and numerous squares, Barcelona is a wonderful backdrop for Christmas lights. The lighting of the Christmas Lights will be on November 24, at 6:00 p.m., the Plaza Mayor of Nou Barris will host the show that will kick off the Christmas lighting in Barcelona.
The lights will be on display between Nov. 24 and Jan. 6.
On the night of the ignition, on the same stage, the Christmas song that this year has composed Ginestà, the duo of Sant Andreu del Palomar and entitled ‘Barcelona is a regal’, will be premiered live.
The schedules will vary depending on the days, from Sunday to Thursday, the lights will be on from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., on Fridays and Saturdays, it will be Christmas lighting from 5:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. and on extraordinary days such as December 31 and January 5, the lighting will shine from 5:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
The biggest novelty regarding Christmas lights will take place in one of the most iconic streets of Barcelona. The butterflies of Passeig de Gràcia say goodbye and, this year, this route opens a new decoration inspired by the star of the tower of the Virgin Mary of the Sagrada Familia.
If you head to Plaza de Catalunya and its surroundings you will see some of the most impressive light shows in Barcelona. The Corte Inglés warehouse in the square is well known for its decorations in the shop and the Portal de l’Angel, right next to Plaza de Catalunya, one of the best known shopping streets in the city stands out for its light screens that make a cozy Christmas night.
La Rambla has lights running all the way changing themes every year.
The second edition of the lighting of the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site, is called ‘El univers de la llum’, since it includes an immersive planetarium where you can walk between planets and stars, as well as a hexagonal tunnel of music and color that accelerates or slows down time visually and auditorily.
The Catalan capital extends by 4 kilometers the illuminated sections compared to last year.
The 9 lots already tendered by the city council include large city arteries and also neighborhood streets, distributed by neighborhoods such as Trinitat Vella, Eixample, Gràcia, Nou Barris, Sant Andreu, Horta-Guinardó or Carmel, among others.
