Santa Eulàlia Festival (Les Festes de Santa Eulàlia) is Barcelona’s winter festival, which takes place throughout the city. It’s a big thing for adults as well as children – although it can get very loud, so get your earplugs and leave toddlers and small kids at home. Check out the ‘Fantàstics’, an exhibition of fantastic beasts, and human towers (which are famous in Catalonia) show, which takes place in Plaça de Sant Jaume on Sunday at 11 am.
