Tips & Advice
- Dress warmly, as Vic is inland and temperatures in December can be quite low, with most of the event taking place outdoors.
- Consider booking restaurant reservations in advance or opting for street food to avoid long queues during peak times.
- Purchase round-trip bus or train tickets in advance, as they tend to sell out quickly due to high demand.
- Arrive early in the day, especially on weekends, to experience the market before it gets too crowded.
- Combine your visit with the nearby Feria del Abeto de Espinelves, as they often coincide and are a short distance apart.
