IWantToLiveOverTheSea Posted July 13, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2018 We will disembark January 6 in Barcelona and stay over two nights. I see that Jan. 6 is a holiday (Epihany) in Spain and Italy (I think), and a Sunday. I was wondering if the Metro, buses, trains and sightseeing venues will be on an abbreviated schedule that day, or just what will the impact of it being a holiday be? I don't care about shops, but we do want to use public transportation and do a little bit of sightseeing that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Three Kings is an important holiday, I am sure public transport will be reduced but it will still exist. Check the places you want to visit that day for the opening hours. You will have to be extra careful and may need to rejig your schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTowner Posted July 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Public transport will be running, but maybe operating a reduced service. Shops and museums will be closed as it is a major public holiday. There will probably be a parade of the Three Kings in the centre, so check.

I couldn't remember when they have it as not my thing. However, most things apart from bars and restaurants will be closed on the 6th.

dogs4fun Posted July 22, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Isn't the Cabalgata on the evening of 5th January in line with the most of Spain or is Barcelona different Barcelona is in line with the rest of Spain. The parade is, indeed, on the evening of January 5th - it begins at 6pm (1800). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roothy123 Posted July 28, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Checked a Facebook group on Events in Barcelona and a website - parade the 5th, with the 6th mostly a day for getting together with family. At least I guess the streets won't be overly crowded that day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
