Although temperatures are still warm, Barcelona is already preparing for the upcoming Christmas season. Ice skating lovers surely remember the times when an ice rink was installed in Plaça Catalunya.
The good news is that this refreshing entertainment will return to the city during the upcoming Christmas holidays. The new ice rink is part of the “Les Llums de Sant Pau” program, with which the Art Nouveau site celebrates the Christmas season from November 21 to January 14.
Although ice skating enthusiasts will have to travel a little further to enjoy this activity, it will be worth the wait.
The main novelty will be the location of the ice rink in the basement of the Convent building, a space that will be kept cool and will help keep the ice in optimal conditions for skating.
Visitors interested in using the rink must pay the entrance fee to the site, plus an additional cost for access to the rink.
