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. There are also some new events this year – check out the ‘Fantàstics’, an exhibition of fantastic beasts, and a human towers (which are famous in Catalonia) show, which takes place in Plaça de Sant Jaume on Sunday, February 9th, at 11 am.
