Christmas time in December in Barcelona is a popular time and attracts thousands of visitors, so we certainly recommend booking your accommodation early.
Stay close to the old town (Barri Gotic) and the Cathedral where the Chrismas Market Santa Lucia is situated.
A great area to stay nearby, with lots of shopping, is around Placa Catalunya.
From there, it is a short walk to the market and old town, the Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic).
