Is Natalis happening in 2026?

Poble Espanyol runs Natalis every Christmas, but the 2026 dates are not out yet. In 2025 it ran Nov 29 to Jan 4, 10am to 8pm, closed Dec 25, Dec 31 and Jan 1, with shorter hours on Dec 24 (until 2:30pm) and Dec 26 (from noon).

How much are tickets?

In 2025 online tickets were €13 for adults and €12 for kids 4 to 12 and seniors over 65, with family packs at €36 for 3 people and €48 for 4. Kids under 4 got in free. The Olivia musical was a separate ticket.

The Olivia musical is in Catalan, and the characters mostly speak Catalan and Spanish. The lights, crafts and letter-writing need no language.

Can we bring a stroller?

Yes, but Poble Espanyol has cobbled streets and some steps, so a sturdy stroller or a carrier makes it easier.

About

Every Christmas, Poble Espanyol, the open-air village on Montjuïc, turns into Natalis. Thousands of lights go up, and the lanes split into themed worlds: an elves' workshop, a candy land run by a pastry chef, a wizard's corner full of riddles, and a street of Christmas traditions from around the world. Kids meet characters, watch roaming shows, make crafts and hand over a letter to Santa or the Three Kings.

€13, ages 4 to 12 €12, under 4 free
