Spain
Catalonia
An autonomous community in northeastern Spain with Barcelona as its capital, renowned for its rich history, distinct language, and vibrant culture.
Tips from the community
Despite the absence of snow and cold weather, you’re sure to find plenty of Christmas spirit in Catalonia leading up to the holidays. From vibrant Barcelona to the most remote coastal villages, the streets and town squares across the region are decked out with dazzling lights, aromatic markets, festive colors, and truly unique folklore. Across traditional nativity scenes, you’ll spot the caganer (literally the “defecator”) casually taking care of his business among Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus and the Three Wise Men. The unusual traditions continue into the home where you’ll find children feeding and chanting around the caga tió (literally “defecating log”), a hollowed-out Christmas log that’s decorated with two little stick legs, a smiling face, and a little red hat.
