felicitacion-de-navidad-de-2024-766x1087

Christmas on the Costa Blanca is anything but boring. Whether magical cabalgatas, glittering markets or atmospheric concerts: the region offers plenty of opportunities to experience the festive season in a special way. The highlight? January 5, of course, when the Three Wise Men parade through the streets with colourful parades and lots of sweets, making children's eyes light up. But there is also plenty to discover away from the big parades - the event calendar has something for everyone. Fancy some live music? Or would you prefer a leisurely stroll through a market? Take a look and experience the variety of holidays on the Costa Blanca
