Torrevieja came alive on Saturday, November 23, with a spectacular event marking the beginning of the Patron Saint Fiestas and Christmas 2024 celebrations.
The streets of the town were filled, and in true festive fashion, the sound of fireworks and ACDC s Highway to Hell could be heard from the loudspeakers in Plaza de la Constitución. While the song may not have been the most traditional Christmas tune, it certainly set the mood.
Torrevieja s Christmas Lights
This year, the Christmas lighting display, traditionally centred around Plaza de la Constitución and Calle Concepción up to Paseo Vista Alegre, was expanded to include additional pedestrian areas, stretching along Calle Fotógrafos Darblade, Calle Canónigo Torres, Paseo de la Libertad, and the Paseo de las Rocas.
Highlight of the Day
The kids’ parade was one of the highlights of the day. Children met their favourite characters while singing along to Disney tunes. The parade featured Disney princesses, Peter Pan aboard a pirate ship with Jack Sparrow, Mario, Garfield, Tigger, Lego characters, superheroes, Aladdin and his entourage, Frozen characters, Pocoyo, Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, and even Tom Jerry.
