The most cultural Christmas: give books and museum tickets as gifts in Barcelona

Christmas is just around the corner and brings with it an irresistible proposal for culture lovers in Barcelona. This year, the Barcelona Provincial Council Bookshop has outdone itself with an offer that seeks to link the love of reading with cultural experiences in the city. Under the slogan “At Christmas, give culture”, this initiative offers more than just books: tickets to some of the most emblematic places in the city such as the Palau Güell, the Maritime Museum, among others.

Bookstore of the Diputación

A different kind of gift: books that open doors

Until January 5, the bookstore not only offers affordable prices for its wide variety of titles, but also accompanies each significant purchase with a pair of tickets to visit renowned cultural sites. A minimum purchase of 15 € in cultural books will allow you to enjoy and visit places like the Palau Güell, the Rodoreda exhibition at the CCCB, or the Montesquiu Castle, for example.

Best of all, this offer applies both to purchases in the physical store and through its online platform. Thus, giving a book as a gift also becomes the gift of a complete cultural experience, something that is often worth more than any material present.

Incentives for theater lovers

For those whose heart beats to the rhythm of the stage, the Christmas proposal includes a special extra. With the purchase of any theater book, the bookstore will give you an additional theatrical text as a gift. In addition, all Christmas purchases come with a 5% discount on the final price, which is always a relief for the pocket.

This is a perfect opportunity to enrich the personal library of any theater lover, while enjoying the additional benefits offered by the bookstore during this season.

The Diputación Bookstore: a cultural treasure at your disposal

This charming bookstore has established itself as an open and accessible space for both citizens and specialized professionals. With more than 9,500 copies available and a total catalog amounting to 20,000 titles, there is something here to satisfy anyone’s intellectual curiosity. From art and photography volumes to catalogs and essays, the goal is to cover all possible interests.

The online store further facilitates this experience by allowing the purchase of both paper and electronic editions, some even free of charge. In addition, if you have a Municipal Library Network card, you can benefit from additional discounts. Its advanced search and print-on-demand systems for certain in-house editions are the icing on the cake that guarantees an exceptional service.

Commitment to a sustainable future

The initiative not only seeks to promote local culture; it is also aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Specifically, it focuses on SDG number 4, Quality Education, and SDG number 10, Reducing inequalities. The Diputació de Barcelona, through this bookstore, reaffirms its commitment to these global goals and continues to work in support of local governments to meet the 2030 agenda.

In short, this Christmas the Diputació Bookshop reminds us that giving culture as a gift is always a safe bet. With its attractive offers and the opportunity to live unique cultural experiences in Barcelona, there is no better option for those who want to make this Christmas different and unforgettable.
