Christmas in Barcelona (8 photos)

The Christmas lights of the Passeig de Gratia wonderful walk in Barcelona opens a new series of hi-def photos with PhotoPost.
Hope you like them!

Let's start with the rain of light of the Majestic Hotel.



The charming Cartier store.


Not as shining as the Majestic, but perhaps more fashinating, the bluish shades of the modernist building of the Guess store.



Elegant as ususal, but with a light surrealist touch, the facade of the Chanel store is one of the most beautiful in all the Passeig de Gratia.
 

The Christams lights of the worldwide famous Casa Battlò , by Gaudì, were minimal. But if you look at the photo, you can easily understand why nothing has to be added to this impressive mansion to catch the eye.
I called it, the "Tourist Eater" , for it makes me think to a huge monster ready to eat us, the balconies as half closed eyes and the huge glass windows a mouth wide open, with razor-sharp teeth!



You can see it on black here .
The spectacular fountain at the crossing between the Passeig the Gratia and the Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes .


 

The snowflake decorated facade of El Corte Ingles , the biggest shopping center in Barcelona. 








The last photo has not been taken in the Passeig, but near Barcelona's gothic Cathedral, WHERE Every year the Fair of St.Lucy ( Fira de Santa Lluch ) Takes Place in the Avinguda de la Catedral. Here, after the 8th of December, you can find a lot of Christmas related items, Especially For creating Nativity Scenes included the traditional and "famous" Caganer !
