Alice, the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts... The universe of Lewis Carroll will arrive this Christmas in Málaga. The historic botanical garden of La Concepción will transform into a veritable Wonderland during the upcoming holiday season. Thus, the popular children's tale will be the focus of the new light and sound show 'Alice Christmas. The Magical Christmas in the garden of wonders' which can be visited from November 28 to January 6 from 18:30 to 22:30 hours in this emblematic location of Málaga capital. Tickets are now on sale. The first session will start at 18:30 hours after the garden closes to the public, and the last entry will be at 21:30 hours, with access every 15 minutes for up to 200 people.

"In the heart of majestic nature, where landscapes seem taken from a fairy tale, Alice Christmas is born, an immersive show inspired by the universal work of Lewis Carroll. The proposal invites to rediscover the Botanical Garden of La Concepción through nine worlds of light, music, and fantasy," highlight from the event website. This time, the City Council of Málaga has granted Mundo Management S.A the authorization for the installation and operation of this show, which will celebrate its fifth edition this Christmas.

From the organization, they explain that each space of the route (which includes from an Ice Lake to the Golden Heart Dome) has been designed to envelop the spectator in "a unique sensory experience that combines art, literature, and nature." "The show also seeks to claim the heritage and cultural value of La Concepción, merging its history and botanical richness with a contemporary narrative that celebrates the values of Christmas: love, hope, and union," they point out. It has a duration of one hour and forty-five minutes over a 2,200 meters route.
