Since Friday 29th of November, the traditional Christmas lights have been illuminating more than thirty streets and public spaces in Mijas. To inaugurate the arrival of this special time of the year, the Mijas Town Hall also organised a big party in the Plaza Virgen de la Peña, with the participation of the Mijas Music Band, the dance group of Reme Fernández and the gospel choir 'Hoy es Tiempo'.

"This year we have lit up the usuall streets of the municipality for Christmas but we also wanted to reach corners where, until now, had not been decorated", said the mayoress of Mijas, Ana Mata (PP) on Friday at this event, noting that "throughout this month we will celebrate Christmas throughout the municipality, in La Cala, in Las Lagunas and, today, it is here in Mijas Pueblo”. 

 

It was an afternoon full of magic and hope, in which residents and visitors alike welcomed the arrival of Christmas, one of the happiest periods of the year, especially for the youngest members of the family. This is also the time to listen to the traditional Christmas carols, which on Friday were performed firstly by the Mijas Music Band, and the gospel choir 'Hoy es Tiempo', from Málaga, who continued to set the mood for an evening that, more than ever, was going to be brilliant. For their part, the group of the Mijas UP, led by teacher Reme Fernández, danced to the rhythm of sevillanas and rumbas navideñas. 

After the musical performances, the most awaited countdown began, with the official inauguration and illumination of Christmas in Mijas. "From here I would like to thank the work that, for several weeks, has been carried out by the Operational Services, Festivities, Cleaning... all to prepare this special day and decorate our town", emphasized the mayoress of Mijas. Silvia Marín (PP), councillor for Festivities at the Mijas Town Hall, also took the opportunity to point out that "little by little, we have tried to make Mijas, especially now at Christmas, as unique and beautiful, and this year we also wanted to add a small detail, up in our mountains, in the chapel of Calvario, where we have placed a star to illuminate the town from above and, of course, also serve as a guide for Father Christmas and the Three Wise Men".
