About Port Vell Christmas Market
Barcelona's Port Vell next to the Columbus Monument at Moll de Fusta hosts a Christmas fairground with children's rides, snack booths, an artificial ice skating ring, and a grand Ferris wheel that is illuminated with LED lighting and gives fantastic views over the Port Vell area.
Next to the Museu de Història de Catalunya, in Moll del Dipòsit is an artisan Christmas market, Sabores de Navidad (Flavours of Christmas), next to the marina that sells local gastronomic products.
Despite being described as a new addition to Barcelona's Christmas fairs, this fair has been running for the last 20 years that I have been living in Barcelona and I highly recommend taking a ride on the Ferris wheel for the port views.
