About this event
Els Llums de Sant Pau is an evening light trail through the Modernist pavilions of Sant Pau, themed this year on The Little Prince. The route has 19 stops, starting with light projections on the main façade and moving through scenes from the book: the baobabs, the king, the lamplighter, the rose and the aviator.
Along the way there are live characters, light and music installations, interactive pieces and an ice rink. Children can collect stamps hidden along the route in an explorer’s passport. Tickets to visit Sant Pau during the day aren’t valid for the light trail.
