The Catalan government plans to delay the nightly curfew to 1.30am on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.
The cabinet also expects to allow one extra hour, until 11pm, on January 5, the eve of the Three Kings Day.
On Wednesday, the interim president, Pere Aragonès, said in parliament that a "flexibilization" of measures in the key nights of the festive season is planned.
This also includes gatherings of up to 10 people - this could be the same as the rest of the Christmas holidays, because if Catalonia moves forward in the plan of reopening social life phases every two weeks as expected, the cap on gatherings will increase from 6 to 10 from December 21.
Mobility
In terms of mobility, December 24, December 31 and January 5 will follow the rules applying to the de-escalation phase in force at that time.
If there are no delays in moving phases due to a worsening of the pandemic, from December 21 Catalonia's borders will be open without restrictions, except for the nightly curfew, as phase 3 provides.
If still in phase 2, its borders would still be closed - and from Friday 6am to Monday 6am, people would only be able to move within their county.
Phase 1, currently in force, provides that Catalonia's borders are still closed and during the weekend, people cannot leave their municipality.
