Celebrate holidays in your house in Cerdanya

An unforgettable Christmas in Cerdanya

Although the cold hasn’t reached all points of the Peninsula yet, you just need to take a look at the calendar to remember that Christmas is just around the corner. For many, it is the ideal time to find a holiday home, but why not take the opportunity to invest in a vacation house in an area with so much to offer as Cerdanya?

Live the Holidays in a unique environment

December doesn’t only offer Christmas celebrations to relax a few days in a comfortable property between the mountains. The holiday known as Puente de la Purísima, between December 6 and 8, provides another opportunity to disconnect in a house with all the comforts and surrounded by an environment with multiple natural, cultural and recreational attractions.

In addition, this historical region has its own traditions, such as Caga Tió or Fer Cagar al Tió. Equally popular throughout Catalonia, the Caga Tió is a custom linked to the winter solstice (December 22). In the days or weeks prior to Christmas, children offer the remains of their food to a small log to which two front legs and a face have been added. When Christmas arrives - traditionally, Christmas Eve dinner - the Tió was beaten to get different gifts for children (sweets, most of the time).

The charm of Christmas in Puigcerdà

Puigcerdà is the largest city in the region and therefore is carefully decorated for Christmas. One of the details that fascinate visitors the most is the downtown lighting usually starting at the beginning of December and to which local shops add with their own lights. It isn’t the only incentive in town these days, given that the City Council always prepares a busy agenda of activities and events, with concerts, parades, theater performances or the popular San Silvestre Race.

Ski resorts and winter sports

Of course, December is one of the most recommended months for enjoying the ski resorts and other winter sports in the region. The ski slopes in Masella and La Molina are already open, and even have their own Christmas attractions (such as the visit of Santa Claus on December 25, for example). Masella is also the first ski resort to open each winter season in the area.
