At the Balcón de Europa, lights shimmered with angels adorning either side of the promenade. Local mayor, José Alberto Armijo and councillor for Popular Culture, Elena Gálvez, had the honour of pressing the big button as illuminations twinkled and a candlelight concert by violinist Klara Gomboc completed the evening. The mayor did not hold back in expressing his joy, highlighting that Christmas in Nerja is synonymous with joy and tradition. Happy Christmas to all!
