It was the end of our three-month sojourn to Europe and we were in Malaga, Spain (pop.578,000). Ron and I were pretty much focusing on our return home for the holidays. However, we still had one more unexpected event to experience—“the Christmas Lights of Malaga.”
This Christmas extravaganza, with over two million lights, is considered one of the best in Spain. For 32 years visitors have been coming from around the world to enjoy the spirit of Christmas in this beautiful city by the sea. Hundreds gather along the famous shopping street Calle Larius to see the lights and experience the nightly Sound and Light Shows. When the choir begins to sing “Joy to the World,” the lights sync to the rhythm of the music, and visitors from all over the world join in the singing. It becomes a memory to last a lifetime.
In addition to Calle Larius Street, there are colorful giant Christmas trees, numerous Nativity Scenes, Christmas Markets, parades, and much more. The event extends through January 6, 2023.
We ended the evening with tapas at a favorite restaurant, Lola's, and departed by train to Madrid the next morning before boarding our flight home the following day.
In addition to photos, attached is a YouTube video:

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!
