🇪🇸 Fira de Santa Llúcia 2021🎄 I am so happy I got to experience the very last day of Fira de Santa Llúcia. Let me tell you about “Fira de Santa Llúcia” which means the Festival of Lights. This festival started back in 1786 (235th Anniversary) in front of the Catedral de Barcelona & occurs every holiday season from 11/26 until 12/23. Fira de Santa Llúcia is a giant Christmas market that sells very traditional Catalan Christmas gifts, including the Nativity sets, Caganer, and Tió de Nadal, which all happens to revolve around 🎄 & 💩. Barcelona has 3 very unique traditional Catalan Christmas traditions. 1. Nativity Set: You buy a Nativity set (Pictures 5 & 6) and you add a new tiny piece to it every year in hopes that you will complete it one Christmas Day. 2. Caganer: You will find a Caganer figurine (Pictures 7 & 8) of a pesant taking a poop 💩 in every Nativity scene. There ain’t no Christmas nativity without him in Catalonia. 3. Tió de Nadal: This is an adorable Christmas tree log with a Santa hat and a face (Picture 9). People will hit the face of the Tió de Nadal & sing to it so it can poop Christmas presents 🎁 I am looking forward to spending my first Christmas in Barcelona.
