About this event

This Christmas, prepare to immerse yourself in a fairytale kingdom in the heart of Montjuïc. Natalis transforms Poble Espanyol into a spectacular tapestry of magical worlds, offering an unparalleled adventure from 30 November to 5 January.

Every corner of the iconic venue invites explorers of all ages to lose themselves in its charms and discover five magical worlds: Wishland, Ilusionarius, Tradicionarius, Candy Fun and Elfland are the settings where the Christmas spirit comes to life.

Prepare for a family adventure

During the tour, families will not only enjoy the beauty and charm of the five worlds, but will also encounter the Natalis fairy and mischievous characters such as the elves and the Grinch. These characters will try to sabotage Christmas in their own way, adding a touch of fun and excitement to the event.

Travel through the magical worlds

In Wishland, children will have the chance to hand over their wish letters to Father Christmas or the Three Kings, creating memories that will last over time.

Immerse yourself in an oasis of magic and Christmas splendour in Ilusionarius. It is a place where the essence of the festivities shines on every corner.

In Tradicionarius, travel through time to explore the origin and evolution of the most cherished Christmas traditions, from the traditional Tió to the majestic Star of the East.

Candy Fun. Enter the paradise of sweets and colour, where festive flavours and creativity merge in workshops and light-filled games, offering a feast for the senses.

Discover a magical enclave, home to Father Christmas’s diligent helpers, and experience a unique adventure in the most famous toy factory in the Christmas world in Elfland.

At the Hivernacle (Plaza Mayor), a series of activities will unfold, from live music and children’s theatre to various entertainments. Food trucks and workshops to discover traditional craft techniques will also be offered. Those attending these workshops will have the chance to take home their own Christmas creations.

Enjoy an impressive premiere of ELFantàstic El Musical

Poble Espanyol’s Christmas programme is enriched by the world premiere of ELFantàstic El Musical, an exclusive creation by the well-known Horror Box production company, HB Events. Directed by David Moreno and Cristina Raya, this musical includes eight unreleased songs that will transport viewers to the magical world of the elves.

The story of ELFantàstic El Musical is about a novice elf and her veteran mentor, who will undertake a journey full of adventures to recover the magic of Christmas.
