Disney Castle Comes to Alhaurín de la Torre (and It's Free): Timetables and Passes

This Christmas, there's no need to travel all the way to Paris to experience the magic of its legendary castle: Disney's. Despite the differences (and although this replica of Sleeping Beauty's castle is inflatable and not made of stone), the excitement that this iconic building arouses is now present in Alhaurín de la Torre. The Department of Festivities and Tourism of the municipality has decided to go big for its new edition of Creating Christmas. A large castle that recreates the heart of the French park has been installed by the local company Magical Parties at the Promotion Building of El Peñón (La Graciosa street). This free Christmas event is designed for the enjoyment of the youngest members of the family.

As explained to SUR by the councilor of Festivities and Tourism of Alhaurín de la Torre, Andrés García, initially the castle was only going to be up this Sunday. However, due to its success, the City Council has decided to change its plan and extend its contract. Thus, the inflatable will remain at Creating Christmas for the three days of the event, which will last until this upcoming Tuesday, the 30th.

This unique Malaga replica features a striking confetti rain, music, and princess dances, with which it is possible to take pictures

Lacking fireworks and drones - major attractions of the original - this unique Malaga replica features a striking confetti rain, music, and princess dances. Mickey and Minnie and other Disney characters are also present, and it is possible to take pictures with them. This Monday and Tuesday there will be two daily shows, in the morning and afternoon: at 12:30 and 18:30.

And there's more. The program of activities at Creating Christmas - open from 11:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 20:00 - includes everything from booths with traditional games (from football to basketball, duck fishing, archery, or a mini bowling alley) to craft workshops, face painting, or the visit of the Royal Postman. And all for free.

Additionally, the venue - with two pavilions - includes a stage with a mini theatre where there are various performances each day. From children's songs with Alice, to family games, karaoke sessions, magic shows, or live music with children's songs.

To facilitate access for the residents of Alhaurín, the City Council has set up a free shuttle bus service from Isaac Peral Avenue to the Promotion Building and back during the three days of the event.
