Spectacular Christmas lights in Malaga city
Monday, December 19, 2011 @ 2:54 PM

We were in Malaga city on Saturday night to absorb some of the Christmas spirit (which seems rather absent in Manilva area) and to take in the amazing lights they've set up this year.

You'll have to excuse the poor quality of the photos I took on my phone...it's just not up to the task and doesn't do the lights any justice!

It's definitely worth going to Malaga in the evening, it feels really Christmasey there and the lights everywhere are amazing. It was buzzing too, certainly didn't feel like there was a crisis on!

We were in Madrid a few weeks ago and there was no sign of a recession there either. Brillialnt place it never seems to sleep.

I wonder if they have any idea what the new goverment is going to "hoist" on to them to pay down the Spanish debt, (or care).

Agree with you re Madrid!! I was there for the Atletico game and could not believe the fantastic buzz about the place. And the money being stuffed into the Bernabeu!!!!!!! The tv seems to have the doom and gloom more in proportion than we do in the UK.
