The Town Hall Square harbors a 25-meter-high Christmas tree, a nativity scene with life-size pieces, a carousel for children, and an ice skating rink, all decorated with hundreds of lights and Christmas ornaments. Even the facade of the Town Hall!

The city is fully dressed for Christmas, especially the busiest streets, such as La Paz Street, Colón Street with all its stores and beautiful shop windows, the City of Arts and Sciences, the Municipal Markets...

There are modern and classic trees in every square decorated in different ways.
