Festivalet is announced for 12 and 13 December 2026, and the Port Vell agenda lists the harbour Fira de Nadal for November 2026 to January 2027, while the event website gives 27 November to 6 January. When the guide was researched, the calendars for Santa Llúcia, Sagrada Família and Gran Via still showed the previous season, so the guide marks those dates as unconfirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat can I do in Barcelona if it rains during my market visit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe guide suggests the Museu Marítim on Avinguda de les Drassanes, close to the harbour fair. Its regular hours are 10:00 to 20:00, general admission is €10 and entry is free on Sundays from 15:00. It closes at 15:00 on 24 and 31 December and stays closed on 25 and 26 December and on 1 and 6 January.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the T-casual from the airport?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The T-casual is not valid at Aeroport T1 and Aeroport T2 on L9 Sud. The guide explains the separate airport ticket, which cost €5.90 when researched, and why it does not cover a bus journey after you leave the metro.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the guide help with nativity figures?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Several pages cover Santa Llúcia on Avinguda de la Catedral: how to judge a figure's size, which questions to ask about material and finish, how to plan a landscape with only a few elements and how to pack delicate pieces for the journey home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this an official guide?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It is an independent Tabiara travel guide.
