PATIENTS in Malaga’s Maternal and Child Hospital woke up to a photocall parade and a recreation of the Christmas lights of the iconic Calle Larios. On Wednesday, December 18, Malaga mayor, Paco de la Torre, visited a children’s ward where decorations had been put together by pupils from the Divino Pastor School of Malaga over the last two months. The school kids had worked alongside the Association of Volunteers of Paediatric Oncology, a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the quality of life of children and adolescents with cancer, as well as their families. The children’s ward is decorated with thousands of LED lights, forms made from polystyrene and foam, among other materials, that replicate the Christmas decorations in the central streets of Malaga. Everyone is welcome to visit the children’s ward and see the decorations until January 7, and each day here will be two shows in which there will be a synchronisation of lights and

music at the same moment the lights in Malaga’s centre perform their light and music show, at 12am and 6.30pm. The managing director of the Regional University Hospital met Mayor Paco de la Torre and thanked volunteers for the work done to illuminate the first floor of the hospital centre. Speaking to staff, patients and a gathering of reporters, he said, “Humanising actions such as the recreation of Calle Larios in our hospital not only brightens the day of the patients, but also creates a more welcoming and hopeful atmosphere. These kind of projects are vital to provide emotional support and well-being to the children and their families, allowing them to enjoy the magic of Christmas even when unable to leave the hospital.”
