...because of more magical Christmas lights...

...downtown in El Born,  the city continues to sparkle!

UN BESO:  the Christmas lights of El Born, X

... because the beautiful 2013 Christmas lights are on....

...just as the cold and dark of winter arrives, the city lights up and sparkles with the las luces de Navidad (Christmas lights)!    Beautiful Barcelona!

...because this is what christmas sounds like...

... because of the Fira de Santa Llúcia...

...has been held in the Avenue of the Cathedral since 1786.  A fair that sells 'Nativity Scenes and Christmas Traditions', which include many versions of the kooky 'cagatio', the smiling log under which the gifts of Christmas appear on Dia de Los Reyes, 6 January. A place to find the Christmas spirit.

...because any day now the streets will light up...

 ...the anticipation of the lights of Christmas is hanging above the city.  Any day, the streets will glow with their beautiful Christmas lights and the city will be illuminated by the spirit of Barcelona Christmas!
