Marbella is not just a place of sun and sand during the summer; at Christmas, the town transforms into a Christmas paradise full of lights, colours and a magical atmosphere. From the old town to the most exclusive areas, Marbella dresses up to welcome tourists and residents during this season.
The Marbella Christmas Lights
Every year, Marbella is filled with lights that illuminate its streets and squares. The Christmas lighting is one of the most eagerly awaited events, with decorations beautifying the old town, Avenida Ricardo Soriano and other key areas of the city. Strolling through the streets of Marbella in December is like stepping into a fairytale, with twinkling lights, Christmas markets and the sound of carols in the air.

Christmas Markets and Festive Activities
Marbella’s Christmas market is one of the city’s main attractions at this time of year. Here you will find handmade products, Christmas decorations, typical sweets and much more. There are also special events such as concerts, theatrical performances and activities for the whole family, such as the Living Nativity Scene or the ice skating rinks.
Tradition and the Local Lifestyle
