Torrevieja town hall has organised the biggest, and most expensive, Christmas celebration in the town’s history, to make Christmas in Torrevieja 2022 a magical experience for all.
At a cost of well over a million euro, the events will consist of concerts in the Plaza de la Constitución, on a purpose-built stage, children’s entertainment, dance and magic shows, and even horse riding, although it’s not entirely clear how this fits into the Christmas messaging.
