Luz Casal will light up Christmas in Torremolinos, which will be illuminated with 1.3 million LEDs.
Event details
6 December 2025 until 6 December 2025
Singer Luz Casal follows in the footsteps of other Spanish song figures such as Pasión Vega and Diana Navarro, and will be this year's Christmas Star in Torremolinos. The singer from Avilés, known for songs like 'No me importa nada' or 'Entre mis recuerdos', is tasked with the lighting of the extraordinary decorations planned by the City Council for the festivities, featuring over 1.3 million LED points, a system that provides greater energy efficiency and savings, and is less harmful to the environment.
The Christmas lights include arches, signs, figures, and holiday motifs spread across La Carihuela, Bajondillo, El Pinillo, Cantarranas, Montemar Alto, Parque Torremolinos, Cortijo de Cea, Los Álamos, the downtown area, El Calvario, Los Palacios, Playamar, and various developments and roundabouts.
There will be three-dimensional figures in Vicente Aleixandre and Blas Infante squares, Marifé de Triana boulevard, and Isabel Manoja avenue, as well as structures resembling almond trees, approximately 4 meters in size, in Pizarro passage, La Nogalera, Plaza Costa del Sol, where there will also be a 20-meter tall tree, and Chiriva, among others. Decorations will also be featured in Andalucía and Pablo Ruiz Picasso squares.
On the day led by Casal, December 6, there will be an inaugural parade starting from Plaza San Miguel at 19:00. It will arrive at Plaza Costa del Sol, where students from the Torremolinos Dance Center 'Carmen Crespo' will perform, and at 20:00 Luz Casal will symbolically switch on the artistic lighting, as a prelude to her performance.
Next, it will be the turn of the flamenco zambombá 'Familia Ballesteros' on Avenida Palma de Mallorca. At this same location, the Christmas Market will be set up, remaining open until January 2.
On November 27, the tree made by the Association of Crocheters of Torremolinos will be inaugurated in Blas Infante. The event will feature the participation of the Music Band with vocal students from the Municipal School of Music and the LGTBIQ+ Choir.
As for the Municipal Nativity Scene, it will be located at the Isabel Manoja Community Development Center, and for its opening on December 4, the choirs of San Miguel, the Brotherhood of El Rocío, and the pastoral group from El Calvario will perform.
Proposals
The City Council has planned a program with more than 60 activities starting on November 23 and extending until January 5, with the Three Kings Parade, involving associations, groups, brotherhoods, and fraternities from the municipality.
Among the proposals, the Solidarity Toy Run, a motorcycle route through the municipality to collect toys for those in need, an initiative by the Komando Amimoto Association, on December 13; the Kings' Cake Route starting on December 20; the Christmas Market at the Cristo Resucitado parish, driven by Cáritas, and plans organized by the Brotherhood of Dolores, the Brotherhood of Marineros Virgen del Carmen from La Carihuela, the Brotherhood of El Rocío de Torremolinos, the Brotherhood of San Miguel Arcángel, the Parish Group San Juan Bautista from Montemar, and the Brotherhood of Calvario, as well as the Spanish Association Against Cancer.
For the little ones, Christmas workshops for creating postcards at the Cristo Resucitado Parish.
