Christmas is very close and the atmosphere is becoming more and more conducive to make different plans in the city. One of them is “el trenet de Nadal”, an initiative organized by the commercial centers of the neighborhoods, to enjoy the Christmas illumination in a different way.
You will be able to tour the city in one of the five trains that are already confirmed, although they may increase as the holidays approach.
Tickets are available at any of the neighborhood stores that are partners in the initiative. In fact, it will not be completely free, but you will be able to get it by making a minimum purchase of 0.50 euros.
