08 Dec holiday in Spain--Barcelona/Catalonia
A few years ago we were in Madrid on this holiday--and it was insanely busy. Lines everywhere, traffic was a mess, just crazy.
We went to Toledo and things were rather quiet there. Then to Barcelona and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Is this a major holiday in Barcelona and Catalonia in general? What about Andorra; it is listed as a holiday there.
I'm thinking of being in Girona around this time and just want to prepare.
It doesn't look like this day is a holiday in France.
Dec 8 is on a Saturday, so I'm not sure if people take off the day before?

Stay at the AC Belavista hotel in Girona. Wonderful views.
