Young´arts Carmel Market 12 December at Rambla del Carmel

A special mention to the emerging young talents who will be exposing and selling their innovative artistic products in an off-the-beaten path side of the City of Counts. The space will also include workshops for all ages, live music and shows…while we write this article, we are still investigating about food availability, we doubt there won’t be!

 

Also, in case you are beating a path through the prams and piles of shopping bags under the big Christmas tree at the Cathedral square, open since 1786, to investigate the smell coming from stalls on the other side… We know it’s tough! There are lots of stalls with food and drink available in most zones. Popular favorites include hot chocolate, pancakes, chocolate fruit skewers and the beloved local xurros, all make a return, but forget about counting calories when you get into your finest temptation, for which there is always a way out by enjoying a cold press juice in one of these Barcelona healthy eateries.

And in case you wanna learn more about the eating local way in Barcelona, why not joining one of our tours in December and beyond. Happy Christmas!
