Who it's for
For everyone

BCN en las Alturas is a weekend market held at the Torre Bellesguard, the house Antoni Gaudí built between 1900 and 1909 on the slopes of Tibidabo. For three days the gardens and rooms of the tower fill with stalls selling fashion brands, accessories and decoration, and there is a food and drink area, the Corner Foodie, and live music. It is organised by Mónica Masana Events, who launched it in 2010 as their first big event, and it is held twice a year: one weekend in November and another in December, the Christmas edition.

It is a good plan for combining relaxed shopping with a Gaudí house that is visited far less than the Sagrada Família or Park Güell the rest of the year. During the market the tower can be visited at a special price, and there are guided tours every half hour.
