Things to do nearby over the long weekend
Christmas fairs
- 5–8 December
- La Selva and Montseny
The long weekend coincides with the Tió Fair in Arbúcies (5 and 6 December) and the Fir Tree Fair in Espinelves, which runs until the 8th. The tió is the Catalan Christmas log.

Girona at Christmas
- Christmas market
- Ice rink
Girona opens its Christmas market and ice rink before the long weekend. A stroll along the Onyar and through the old town, then back to the fireplace.

To stretch your legs: the climb to the Argimon chapel starts at the door, and the Montseny is about half an hour away.

The long weekend at the house
In December life moves indoors: the fire lit in the lounge (we leave you a bundle of firewood), central heating in every room and a dining room for 30 where the long pre-Christmas meals fit. For the afternoons, board games and table football; and if you would rather not cook, we offer a catering option.
For more ideas, see our guide to the rural house in winter and our board games for large groups.
