New Malaga Christmas Lights

Malaga city services, Servicios Operativos del Ayuntamiento de Malaga, have started installing this years christmas lights in the city centre and have unveiled some new designs for 2011.

Traditionally, lights in the main Calle Larios have always been suspended between the buildings that line the shopping street, but this year will see new ground mounted installations depicting typical chritmas symbols including stars and baubles.

Malaga Council official Teresa Porras commented that the new Malaga lights this year would set a new precedence and would be the benchmark for other cities for years to come.

The new ground mounted lights start at the beginning of Calle Larios and continue to Plaza de la Constitucion where the enormous christmas tree is built. The Malaga christams lights this year are all made up of LED lights to consume less power over the duration of the festive season.

If you have never seen the Malaga christmas lights and are in the area throughout December, try to go and see them as they are quite something to behold and the atmosphere is fantastic in the evenings.

Wander the streets of the Alameda where all the flower stalls are selling traditional christmas displays, view the navtivity display just before Calle Larios and then take a seat at a pavement cafe in Larios with a Chocolate and a churro and watch the world pass by. There is no better way to get into the spirit of the season than with a trip into Malaga to see the lights.
