Christmas Evening at the Ice Arena

I finished my evening walk around the Christmas city in Plaza Catalunya, which was richly decorated with festive lights.

In winter, there is a large ice arena on the square, where a public ice rink with real ice is arranged. Let me remind you that it is +14-16 on the street.

On the ice, you can see people of all ages, but mostly, of course, young people.

Teenagers have fun in small groups.

Older people ride in pairs or singly.

Gallant gentlemen teach beautiful ladies to take their first steps on the ice.

There is a separate area for the youngest skaters.

Cute penguins help kids keep on their skates.

Advanced kids ride in the adult zone. A professional photographer also offers his services here.

Security is monitored by several instructors with radio stations.

In the arena there is a corner of odycha, where you can buy a ski tour to the Catalan Pyrenees.
