Gáldar Christmas program 2024-25 🎄🌟
Gáldar lights up Gran Canaria for Christmas. The municipality of Gáldar kicked off Christmas on 29 November with a great audiovisual show that amazed the thousands of people who came to the streets of its historic centre.
More than 25,000 metres throughout the city and 4,200 on Capitán Quesada Street light up Gáldar. The city’s main street has smart lighting, a technology that is being used for the first time in the Canary Islands in a public space and which will show audiovisual shows every Christmas night from 18:30 to 22:00.
In addition, the streets of the historic centre and their entrances have numerous photocalls, trees and an endless number of Christmas motifs, which will also be present in all the neighbourhoods of the city in the coming days. On Friday 29 November, in addition, the Municipal Nativity Scene in the Town Hall, the ice rink next to the Juan Vega Mateos Sports Centre, and the royal mailbox of Their Majesties the Three Wise Men in front of La Recova have already opened their doors, highly anticipated events for the whole family. A Christmas that will have the culmination of saying goodbye to 2024 and welcoming 2025 with the chimes of Radio Televisión Canaria, for the first time in history, from the Temple Santuario de Santiago.
