What to do for a family Christmas in Malaga? If you are bringing the kids on holidays to the Spanish city for the festive season, you’ll need to know what to do! We asked our local TSE Rentals Malaguena, Sandra what families do, what\u2019s on, and what dates are important.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Important Dates<\/h3>\n

Starting with dates, much like many continental European countries the Spanish celebrate Christmas on different days.\u00a0 The big family dinner is on the 24th of December. The 25th<\/sup> of December is a bank holiday, so you can expect many shops to be closed! On the 31st<\/sup> of December, the Spanish have a wonderful tradition called 12 Grapes. Basically, you must try and eat a grape for every strike of the countdown! It\u2019s actually great fun and honestly not that easy to do! On the 5th<\/sup> of January you have 3 Kings or “Cabalgatas de los Reyes Magos”. A procession of people dressed up as Kings or Wise Men through the streets of Malaga centre, throw sweets from their carriages! It’s a guaranteed hit with the kids!<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Christmas Lights<\/h3>\n

Malaga is a beautiful city, and even more so when they put up their Christmas lights.\u00a0 A visit to the “Jard\u00edn Bot\u00e1nico de la Concepci\u00f3n<\/a>” is well worth the time as they have a special Christmas lights display. It’s an approximately 2.2 kilometer walk through the garden and the lights are amazing. It’s ticketed, and starts from 27th Nov and runs until the 9th<\/sup> of January.\u00a0 Calle Larios in Malaga centre also has spectacular winter lights and makes for a very festive shopping experience. And while you\u2019re in the centre looking at the lights, you can also see the Belenes de Navidad, or the traditional crib, on display!<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Visit Papa Noel<\/h3>\n

During the build up to Christmas, there are different activities and workshops\u00a0for\u00a0children at various locations throughout the city, such as the Miramar shopping centre\u00a0in Fuengirola. Activities such as visiting Pap\u00e1 Noel, storytellers and theatre are available, but it is necessary to get an appointment.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Ice Skating<\/h3>\n

Probably not something usually associated with the hot southern Spanish city but you can go ice skating in winter beside El Corte Ingles in Malaga centre!<\/p>\n

So, a family Christmas in Malaga will provide plenty to do to keep the little ones entertained! And all that on top of the usual great shopping and food the city is well known for. And if with all the walking around the city, legs are getting tired, you can always hire a buggy<\/a> for the city break!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
