The large Christmas playground in Platja d'Aro

Every year at Christmas time, Platja d'Aro offers the Children's Park in the Palau d'Eports i Congressos in the afternoons. You can find inflatables, workshops, games, animation shows.
You can go there as a family and enjoy with the little ones moments they will always remember.


Living cribs

Shepherds, peasants, laundresses, blacksmiths, the Magi, the pages, the angel, Joseph, the Virgin Mary, Jesus and ... the caganer! The living mangers are live representations of the biblical episode corresponding to the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.
In the Empordà the tradition of living nativity scenes is still very much alive and we encourage you to visit one of them:

  • In Calonge, the performance takes place on a route around the Castle.
  • In Castell d'Aro, represented since 1959, it takes place between the medieval center of Castell d'Aro and the natural area of ​​the Vall de la Coma.
  • In Pals they take place in the Gothic Quarter of the municipality.


Ice rink in Palafrugell

Christmas in the municipality of Palafrugell cannot be imagined without the Ice Rink. A traditional activity held in the Bòbila grounds.
Along with the ice rink, a whole range of completely free activities are organized for children, young people and the family in general, bar service, creperie, churreria, sweets and various children's attractions apart from the rink.
