It’s not Ohio or Minnesota, or any snowy town deep in the United States. It is Sant Adrià and, specifically, one of its neighborhoods, La Catalana, which this year will once again turn its streets into a Christmas corridor with the balconies turned into an ode to the winter holidays.
After the resounding success of last year’s edition, this Christmas 2024 La Catalana will again celebrate the Christmas balcony decoration contest, organized by the Neighborhood Association.
How to see the Christmas balconies?
The contest seeks to encourage the Christmas spirit and the connection between neighbors, and for this, neighbors who want to sign up can start decorating their balconies between now and December 19.
Thus, the Neighborhood Association explains that those who wish to participate can sign up until next December 19, sending a direct message via Instagram or writing to avvlacatalana@gmail.com.
The contest will culminate with the valuation of the balconies on Friday, December 20, the day on which the three best decorated balconies will be awarded.
How to get to the neighborhood of La Catalana?
Sant Adrià has the particularity of being an independent municipality of Barcelona despite being, in part, physically “inside” the city, as its boundaries are on the Barcelona side of the Besós river.
For this reason, public transport arrives comfortably. The best way is by TRAM (T5 – stop La Catalana) or metro (L4 – stop Besós). Another option is to take the train (R1 – Sant Adrià stop) or, if not, several bus lines.
