MALAGA’S Christmas lights are the highlight of the season and are probably the most instagrammed festive decoration on the coast.

This year they will switched on on Friday November 24.

The theme for this Christmas has taken a religious tone, with Calle Larios being converted into a Cathedral with two giant domes and stained glass windows.

Son et Lumiere shows take place on Calle Larios at 6.30pm and 9.30pm and three songs will form part of the show: Boney M’s Merry Christmas, Wizards in Winter by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Christmas Festival performed by Boston Pops.

In addition to Calle Larios, some 1.7 million LED bulbs will be on display in Malaga this season.

The lights are switched on between 6.30pm and 2am every day and are turned off on January 7 next year.
