"Benalmádena Gears Up to Sparkle: Christmas Lights Stretch to the Seashore This Season"

This Friday, 24 November, Benalmádena will come alive in a brilliant spectacle as the town hall ignites its festive spirit with the grand lighting of Christmas decorations.

In a dazzling expansion of holiday cheer, the lights will twinkle to life across three distinct zones in the municipality. Yolanda Peña, the councillor responsible for festivities, shared that this year's display will cast its glow further than ever, bathing coastal stretches from Los Porches and Puerto Marina to Torremuelle in festive luminescence.

"We've pulled out all the stops to ensure our entire community sparkles this Christmas," Peña remarked.

The kick-off to this luminous celebration will feature a gala in Benalmádena Pueblo's Plaza de España, starting at 5.30pm. A subsequent revelry is slated for Avenida Alay at 6.30pm.

A highlight of the evening, set for 7.30pm at Arroyo de la Miel's Plaza de la Iglesia, will see the young victor of the children's Christmas postcard contest bestowed the honour of flipping the switch on the lights.

Peña noted that the early lighting aligns with neighbouring towns, fostering a communal festive atmosphere. "Our aim is to entice both locals and visitors to immerse themselves in a town decked out for the holidays. Alongside the lights, a packed schedule of events will keep the Christmas spirit burning bright," she concluded.
