There’s even a festive drink, with mulled wine flowing freely. You’ll also discover an impressive array of decorations scattered throughout the city, from Nativity scenes to twinkling lights and wicker figures.
The annual light display at Malaga’s Botanical Gardens is a sight to behold. Established in 1855 by the Marquises of Casa Loring as a place of entertainment for the bourgeoisie, these stunning gardens now house over 50,000 plants and are one of Europe’s few subtropical gardens, reports the Mirror.
This year, the Christmas theme is ‘Illusion: Christmas has many faces… but only one heart’, with seven themed areas including The Elf Queen’s Abode, the Polar Express Station, the Grinch’s Lair, the Magical Elf Forest and Santa’s Mansion, the Forest of Chimneys and the Lighthouse of Illusion.
Catering especially to children and families, kids under 12 will receive a free cotton wool cloud to accompany them on their journey.
There’s even a square offering hot chocolate and freshly roasted nuts. General admission tickets are priced at 15.5 euros for adults and 11.5 euros for children, running from November 29 to January 6.
If you prefer a beachside Christmas, Malaga is your ideal destination.
Known for its golden sands and crystal-clear waters, it provides the perfect setting for a relaxing seaside day.
Despite being winter, temperatures remain comfortable at around 17 to 18 degrees during the day, with sea temperatures slightly cooler at around 16 degrees.
Although it might not be the most heated dip you’ve ever taken, it’s still delightful.
If you prefer to stay above the water, there are ample opportunities for that as well with activities like kayaking, boating and even parasailing for the daring.
Flights to Malaga depart daily in December from several UK airports including Bournemouth, Glasgow, Leeds and London. A return journey is currently priced at approximately £120, a minor cost for a slice of midwinter sunshine.
