Christmas Markets – Costa del Sol

In need of Christmas spirit? Attend a Christmas market, as it will be a remedy for whatever ails you. Not only that, it will be a great opportunity to pick up those homemade Christmas presents that remind you of Christmases past.  As the markets are usually for charity, it is a great way to give back to your community. It is also a time to meet old friends, have a great day out and get in the frame of mind for tree trimming and decorating.

Although the Christmas markets vary, you will find stalls, raffles, games, face painting, bouncy castles and carol singing. And after all that excitement you can relax with a glass of traditional mulled wine, mince pies, saffron buns and gingerbread. I am sure you can count on a visit from Santa.

Below is a list of the Christmas Markets and Fairs taking place on the Costa del Sol this season.
