Christmas it is already appearing in the Catalan capital. The first appear on the streets lights and decorations. They say it is a way for shopkeepers to encourage purchases, especially in these times of crisis, but ultimately also a way to make the city feel the festive Christmas atmosphere.
One of the Christmas news of the last two years has been the ice rink, called "BarGelona”(Nice mix between the name of the city and the Catalan word gel, or ice), in the central Plaça Catalunya. The works for the construction of the track began today and will be inaugurated on November 21 although it will be available to citizens and tourists from 22 November, coinciding with the lighting of the lights and the new edition of the Barcelona Shopping Night
The attraction will remain open until January 6 and it will be much larger than last year: 1.400 square meters, divided between the runway, the panoramic corridor, the bar and various services.
As for the tariffs, official sources say that thehalf hour entry will cost 7 € while that of an hour 9 euros (1 euro more than last year). There will be one 50% discount for those who have made purchases in "Barcelona Comerç”And the novelty of this year is that the discount will be reciprocal .. that is, those who use the track will have discounts at the 10.000 shops that adhere to the association.
On the occasion of the candidacy of Barcelona-Pirineus ai 2020 winter olympic games, courses in skating and other ice disciplines will also be organized. So .. as you would say in these parts .. to disfrutar! And beware of falls!
