'Christmas Among Neighbors' celebrates its fourth edition with over 20 activities across Marbella

The Marbella City Council has introduced the fourth edition of the 'Christmas Among Neighbors' program, an initiative driven by the Citizen Participation department along with the neighborhood associations of the municipality with the goal of promoting coexistence and traditions during the holiday season. This year, the program will feature a total of 21 activities at various locations around the town. Councilor Enrique Rodríguez emphasized that "this program, part of the Festivities department's agenda, not only enriches the Christmas offerings but also highlights the commitment and effort of the groups, which work throughout the year to improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods."

The agenda in Marbella, which will be complemented by other events in San Pedro Alcántara, will start on December 5 with a 'buñolada' organized by A.V. El Barrio, starting at 5:00 PM, and a hot chocolate gathering by A.V. Las Albarizas at the Marbella City Theater Square, also at the same time. On December 7, the Antonio Maíz Viñals association will hold its traditional 'zambomba' at the Don José Antonio Pérez Cervera Square at 7:00 PM.

Children's Parties and Hot Chocolate Gatherings

The activities will continue on December 11 with a meeting of associations and the presentation of the annual summary for 2025, while on December 12, A.V. Fernando de los Ríos will offer a hot chocolate gathering on Juanar Street, at 5:00 PM, featuring a performance by Amanda Liñam. On December 19, a children's party with a visit from Santa Claus will be held on Sol Street, organized by El Barrio. Meanwhile, on December 23, the Vázquez Clavel association will host a children's party at González Badía Square at 5:30 PM, and later on December 28, pre-New Year's Eve celebrations with hot chocolate at the same location.

Rodríguez detailed that, as a complement to these activities, the City Council has published informational brochures detailing all the activities to facilitate community participation. Additionally, sociocultural excursions such as visits to the Mollina Nativity Scene Museum, the town of Rute, or the light show at the Malaga Botanical Garden have been organized. Throughout the month, the 'Christmas Among Neighbors: let's go to the movies' initiative will also take place, allowing associations to arrange outings to various screenings for groups of up to 25 people.
