Ice skating rink in Barcelona for the first time. Plaza Catalunya gets an ice skating rink for Christmas. The plaza Catalunya is all the way up the Ramblas.
The rink is covered with a plastic roof to let plenty of light in. It is 1200m2 big (40m by 30m) making it the biggest outdoor ice rink in Europe with room for 350 skaters. It is open from Saturday 3rd December until the beginning of January. The idea is to add to the Christmas spirit of Barcelona.
On Saturday the rink was full ! So many kids did enjoy ice skating with their friends or parents.
