This is a nativity scene made up from tiny figures, which can be purchased from Christmas markets and shops across Spain during the festive season. Schools and businesses often have a Bel\u00e9n of their own, with local families delighting in seeing the intricate scenes each year.<br><br>To kick off the Christmas season, many Spaniards take part in El Gordo (\u2018the fat one\u2019) on 22<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;December each year. Tickets cost an eye-watering \u20ac200 but can be purchased in tenths, meaning a family can take part for a much more reasonable \u20ac20, buying with friends and colleagues for a share in the 15,000 or so prizes on offer. The top prize, after which the lottery is named, will be \u20ac4,000,000 in 2022.<br><br>Visiting Christmas markets and enjoy the Christmas lights in towns and cities is another intrinsic part of the Christmas season. This year, for example, Malaga\u2019s main Christmas shopping street will be home to 16 celestial angels, spread across 32 columns that create a stunning display along the entire length of the street. Malaga will also be hosting a drone display on several nights during December this year, providing a modern take on festive lighting fun.<br><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001hX8mRN4bu6xy2TlkjreLGVeMQziVKteSuRLCOVq3PrxTyLb1s-6vqpdg5yWkAIDcCaN3A2J5ednoK2P8ppb6O6YEronbcw-flAtcU55uNigvqlcSaqbnQ1XKLkc-4k5x318D8Qb57XG35Ost2J9D3GxrhnEruC5t&amp;c=BPdIBilP-XuTBvG4PdiueP-dSxqL3RZGmooHqMeMHBMkzC9yNRl2jw==&amp;ch=hVa8ZfhoX8Q1XlZgyVqvCVQA4kQ49j2_HpzTVcR_SFowwiWGcLWR6w==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/taylorwimpeyspain.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/c.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/taylorwimpeyspain.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/c-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Magical lighting displays draw visitors to cities across Spain\" class=\"wp-image-10207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/taylorwimpeyspain.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/c-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/taylorwimpeyspain.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/c-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/taylorwimpeyspain.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/c-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/taylorwimpeyspain.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/c.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><br>For buyers looking to enjoy the Christmas lights in Malaga each year, Taylor Wimpey Espa\u00f1a\u2019s lovely apartments and penthouses at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001hX8mRN4bu6xy2TlkjreLGVeMQziVKteSuRLCOVq3PrxTyLb1s-6vqt21pFTe0dCixTTyJggVUGrM025_HhuI81sI96fukdBfl6t2xm5aJa_OUr_lgkQ2byDNmMQziKw8BfpiC60pH-WbTvr9PX3mFz6LfGisfNUorFb9tg1mcNR584-k4xVGUY1OttEilk9a1jHhG-pjJhc=&amp;c=BPdIBilP-XuTBvG4PdiueP-dSxqL3RZGmooHqMeMHBMkzC9yNRl2jw==&amp;ch=hVa8ZfhoX8Q1XlZgyVqvCVQA4kQ49j2_HpzTVcR_SFowwiWGcLWR6w==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Solemar<\/a>&nbsp;are the ideal base.
