Torrevieja Christmas lights will reach 70 streets including residential areas

A lot of the amazing decorative lights for the 2025 Patron Saint and Christmas Festivals have already been put up in the city’s streets and squares. Work will continue in the next few days leading up to the important date of the lighting festival, which will be on the afternoon of November 22nd this year.

Concha Sala, the councillor in charge of this service, has shared the most relevant information about the installation of the holiday lights, which was done by the company “Iluminaciones Granja SL.” There will be more than 500 lights in the installation, including arches and other things. They will cover 70 streets, squares, avenues, and residential areas in the municipality of Torrevieja.

A big snowman will be put up in Miguel Hernández Square this year, and people will be able to visit it. This is one of the year’s biggest new things. There will be a lot of Christmas spirit in this square for the kids, especially since there will be two arches on Calle Clemente Gosálvez for the first time. The Department of Public Lighting hosted the 1st School Drawing Competition last May, and these arches won prizes for their designs of decorative Christmas lights.

Next to the Monument to the Man of the Sea on the Juan Aparicio Seafront Promenade, a new 20-meter-tall Christmas tree with cutting-edge RGB LED technology will be built. People will be able to visit this tree. In addition to the three additional trees that will be built in La Mata’s Plaza de Encarnación Puchol, there will also be three 15-metre-tall trees that will be open to the public. A big star of illusion will be lit up on the front of the Parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus once more. A huge Christmas tree will also be put up at the entrance to the “Tavi y Carmona” Sports Palace. Also, there will be an 8-metre-tall tree in the Plaza de La Madera.

The biggest tree will be the natural one close to Bar La Marina at the entrance to the port area. There will be 20,000 warm-colored LED lights on its 22-metre height.

Other prominent routes that will be lit up, which are popular with hundreds of visitors each year, including Calle Concepción and its cross streets, Calle Fotógrafos Darblade, and Calle Canónigo Torres. These streets are the most central for pedestrians. Each one will have a unique design with a ceiling of light made up of more than 14 kilometres of garland and more than 100,000 micro bulbs. More than 150 moving stars of light will hang from this ceiling, along with other things that will make this new decoration even better.

The 2025 holiday lighting project will also include the installation of four arches in the new “hippie” area on Avenida de la Estación – Vía Verde. “Lamppost” arches will also be put up in the Eras de la Sal and Fábrica del Hielo grounds, joining the more than fifty allegories that are already on Gregorio Marañón and Desiderio Rodríguez avenues.

This year, the cornices on the front of the Church of the Immaculate Conception will also have their usual show of about 150,000 warm white micro LED bulbs. The front of the Parish Church of Our Lady of the Rosary in La Mata will be lit up again after being dark for a few years. This time, it will have a new, modern look. There will also be lights on other streets and squares in La Mata.

The procession path for the city’s patron saint, La Purísima Concepción, will also be decorated with 56 unique arches that have banners with the saint’s image on them. These arches will be replaced by Christmas arches at the end of the patron saint festivities.

The lights will reach neighbourhoods far from the city centre, like La Siesta, Torreta Florida, Los Balcones, and Aguas Nuevas. The three neighbourhoods will have at least one Merry Christmas sign and about 1,000 metres of LED light strips that will light up 3,000 lamps. In La Siesta, people will greet each other in both English and Spanish.

The present contract includes an investment cost of 387,467 euros, including VAT.
