Fira de Reis de la Gran Via

The Fira de Reis de la Gran Via transforms several stretches of Barcelona's iconic Gran Via into a vibrant celebration of Three Kings Day traditions. First celebrated in 1877 with just 18 stalls selling toys and sweets, this historic fair has grown into a beloved Barcelona institution featuring approximately 200 stalls spread between Carrer Calabria and Carrer Muntaner. While toys and candies remain central to the experience, the market has evolved to showcase an impressive array of artisan crafts, handmade gifts, fashion accessories, costume jewelry, decorative ceramics, and original home décor items. The atmosphere reaches its peak on St. Stephen's Day (December 26) when other shops remain closed, and especially on the magical evening of January 5th, when the fair extends its hours until the early morning hours to accommodate families attending the famous Three Kings parade. The irresistible aroma of churros wafts from traditional churrerías positioned at various corners along Gran Via, offering the perfect warm treat of churros with hot chocolate to combat the winter chill. With its convenient location accessible from both Plaça Catalunya and Plaça Espanya, this market provides an authentic Catalan Christmas experience where children finalize their gift wishes and families discover unique presents unavailable in conventional stores.
