During the day, you could easily find yourself taking off your coat and enjoying a cold beer on one of the city's many terraces. At night, a light jacket should be enough to keep the chill away.

What's more, you can enjoy match replays in the comfort of the city's sports bars.<\/p>\n<p>If you're looking for an exceptional day out, Vic's medieval market takes place at this time of year. The event attracts around 100,000 visitors over a weekend, and features <strong>medieval meals, entertainment and games<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Christmas markets <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It's almost impossible to talk about December travel without mentioning Christmas. While Barcelona can't compete in terms of Christmas romance with Vienna and Prague, the festival is celebrated <strong>with a certain style in Catalonia.<\/strong> Several markets have sprung up around the town. A life-size crib adorns the <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/placa-sant-jaume\/\">Pla\u00e7a de Sant Jaume<\/a> and the city's main streets are decorated with festive lights.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Enjoy a flamenco show<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Synonymous with Spain, the <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/flamenco-barcelona\/\">flamenco<\/a> is celebrated in the city's many tablaos. The best choice is probably the Tablao Cordobes, an Andalusian-style theater on the edge of the city. <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/las-ramblas-barcelona\/\">Las Ramblas<\/a> where you can sample a classic paella while enjoying a musical and dance performance typical of the country.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Visit Gaudi's Casa Mila by night<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A different way to discover <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/casa-mila-barcelona-pedrera\/\">Casa Mila<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/gaudi-barcelona\/\">Gaudi<\/a> is to attend the <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/la-pedrera-barcelona\/\">La Pedrera<\/a>. This event includes an evening guided tour of the iconic building and concludes with an epic audiovisual show on the building's undulating roof. A free glass of Cava <strong>accompanies you on your tour.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Attend a soccer match<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At this time of year, La Liga usually starts to heat up, and FC Barcelona is one of the forerunners of the competition. There are also matches <strong>in the Champions League against Europe's top teams<\/strong>. An unforgettable evening of soccer at the <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/camp-nou-barcelona\/\">Barcelona stadium<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Visit Parc G\u00fcell<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You've probably already bought your tickets for <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/sagrada-familia-interior-tickets\/\">La Sagrada Familia<\/a>. But don't miss Antoni Gaudi's magnificent landscaped gardens either. At this time of year, it shouldn't be too crowded. You'll also have more room to take the perfect photo of Barcelona. <strong>from the park's splendid observation deck<\/strong>. You can even take a selfie with the multicolored lizard standing guard on the grand staircase!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Celebrate the New Year!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Still in Barcelona on December 31st? Then get ready to ring in the New Year <strong>in the pure tradition of the city<\/strong>. A public fireworks display is held every year in Pla\u00e7a Espanya.
