Christmas in Fuengirola 2024

Christmas in Fuengirola 2024 is just beautiful, full of lights and colors. The city really brightens up! The Ayuntamiento has prepared an innovative Christmas program in 2024, mixing the traditional lights, Christmas market and parades with shopping tours and the already traditional sports events. Also becoming traditional is the artificial snow that, once more, will bring fun to Fuengirola this season. Come see all that is happening this Christmas in Fuengirola!

You can find, below, the translation of the full program, that extends up to January 5, with the 3 Kings parade. Click on any date on the table of contents above to go straight to that day’s program!

I’ve also added, in the bottom of this post, Google Maps directions to some of the main venues listed in the program, to make it a bit easier to find them. Don’t forget to bookmark this post, so it is easier for you to come back during this long season.  There’s plenty to enjoy during Christmas in Fuengirola in 2024!

The Palacio de la Paz sits at the end of the Recinto Ferial, right by the Pabellón Juanito, in green on the map.

Edificio Colores

Edificio Colores is the Casa de la Juventud (Youth House) of Fuengirola; it’s no coincidence that it promotes events for children and teens. 😉

Plaza de la Constitución

This is one of the main Squares of Fuengirola, where the Christmas market and the artificial snow falls will take place.

Museo de la Ciudad

Paruqe de España and Plaza de España

The Parque and Plaza de España are side-by-side.

Parroquia de Nuestra Señora del Carmen y Santa Fe de Los Boliches

There are two Parroquia (parishes) del Carmen in Fuengirola, one in Los Boliches (this!) and the other one (below) very close to the Parque de España. Both will host several events this Christmas!

Parroquía del Carmen de Fuengirola (Calle Maria Josefa Larrucea)

Conclusion

Christmas in Fuengirola is super special! There are beautiful lights everywhere, a fantastic Christmas market, parades, music, decorations… and plenty of surprises of all kinds and for all ages, with a focus on the youngest. Lots of seasonal food and special occasions blended into a very festive atmosphere. I hope you enjoy it a lot! Merry Christmas!
