La Fira de Santa Llúcia

The “Fira de Santa Llúcia” is a Christmas market. It started 200 years ago, and it is in front of the cathedral or church in the city. Although Saint Llúcia is the saint patron of the blind and those with eye-trouble and the professions that require having good, such as dressmakers and milliners. It celebrates the day on December 13, the date on which his devotees visit his chapel inside the cathedral, the market starts to work a few days before and ending the day on December 23.
