Christmas at Poble Espanyol

During the Christmas season, Poble Espanyol becomes Natalis, an immersive festive experience designed for families and visitors of all ages. This open-air architectural complex on Montjuïc is transformed into a Christmas village featuring six themed worlds, around twenty characters and a programme of live entertainment and activities. Visitors can explore different settings, discover Christmas traditions, enjoy performances in Plaça Major and take part in creative workshops. Children can also deliver their letters to Santa Claus until 24 December and to the Three Wise Men from 26 December onwards. Decorated streets, interactive experiences and family activities make Natalis a special outing during the festive season.
