Best caganers in Barcelona

The most traditional figure in the Catalan Nativity is the Caganer – a little shepherd doing a poop. Every Catalan home has a caganer and you can buy your own in the Fira de Santa Llucia, the best market at Christmas in Barcelona. Nowadays, caganers figures represent celebrities such as politicians, members of the Royal Family and sportsmen, among others.
