CARTAGENA is getting ready to sparkle this holiday season! The Christmas lights will be switched on December 5 from 6.30 pm, lighting up the city centre, and the surrounding areas all at once for the first time ever.
A sneak peek at Cartagena’s stunning holiday decorations
This year’s display includes thousands of energy-saving LED lights spread across over 750 decorations. From giant ornaments to festive signs and perfect photo spots, the city is pulling out all the stops to create a magical atmosphere.
One of the standout features is the transformation of Cartagena’s streets into a glowing almond tree forest. More than 100 branches will light up the main streets, a unique touch that’s become a signature of the city’s Christmas celebrations.
How Cartagena is bringing Christmas magic to the streets
Calle Mayor will be decorated with nine illuminated crowns, symbolising the arrival of the Three Kings. These will lead to Town Hall Square, where a 20-metre lighted Christmas tree will take pride of place next to the Palacio Consistorial.
Cartagena’s festive lights promise to bring a touch of magic to everyone this holiday season. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy this stunning spectacle!
