What people love about Christmas & New Year Tours in Andalucia
- Best of Spain
This was a well run tour , we were given good information about each city and place we stayed at. Our guide was competent and informative. Viviana went out of her way to ensure we had the information to see the sights each day, The tour took us to the areas of Spain we wanted to see. In hindsight the trip to Tangiers wasn't a great day trip, it also would have been better to stay in another place not Tarifa,, it is not a great Intrepid place to go.o
- 9-Day tour From Madrid to Barcelona through Andalusia and the Mediterranean Coast
Julia tours needs to provide more details regarding the tour. Where are the hotels? How central are they, what are you getting for a hotel upgrade. The TourRadar app is good. I liked the ease of the messaging with the tour company even their response wasn’t always timely.
- 5-Day of Andalusia & Costa del Sol & Toledo
Group of 50 travellers was too large. The transportation was excellent, with a very comfortable bus & a great driver named Gabriel. Our guide, Ismael was very knowledgeable & friendly. The itinerary was good , with the exception of the Costa del Sol, which should be left off all future trips. Another night in Granada or somewhere else would be preferable. Opttional supplementary activities were good. Overall, good value, but I would like smaller groups of 20 or so travellers.
What our customers ask about Christmas & New Year Tours & Trips in Andalucia
What special Christmas and New Year festivities can I experience in Andalucia?
The holiday season in Andalucia brings a blend of religious tradition and modern celebration. The Santa Cruz quarter in Seville showcases detailed nativity scenes called Belenes while Granada's Albayzin district transforms into a traditional Christmas market. The Plaza de la Constitución in Malaga becomes the center of New Year's festivities. Hotels like the Melia Lebreros in Seville host holiday gala dinners. The narrow streets light up with decorative displays creating what one TourRadar traveler called "magical traditional celebrations in Seville's old town."
What is the weather like in Andalucia during Christmas and New Year?
Winter in Andalucia offers comfortable temperatures for exploring. Coastal areas like Malaga and Marbella see daily temperatures of 15-18°C (59-64°F). Inland cities such as Granada cool down to 10-12°C (50-54°F). The Sol Principe Hotel in Torremolinos provides views of the winter Mediterranean. As noted by a TourRadar traveler: "The weather was perfect for sightseeing - cool enough to walk comfortably but still sunny enough to enjoy outdoor cafes and plazas during the holiday season."
What are the must-visit Christmas markets in Andalucia?
The region's holiday markets each offer distinct local character. Granada hosts the sweet-focused Bib-Rambsweets while Seville's Feria del Belén specializes in nativity figures. Malaga's market lines the popular Calle Larios. The NH Gran Hotel in Granada serves as a convenient base for market exploration. According to a TourRadar traveler: "The traditional Christmas market in Granada's historic center was a highlight with amazing local handicrafts and festive treats."
Which Andalucian cities offer the best Christmas decorations and light displays?
The region's cities compete for the most impressive holiday displays. Malaga's Calle Larios features a synchronized light and music show while Granada decks its historic center with traditional decorations near the Cathedral. In Seville Plaza de San Francisco glows with holiday spirit and Cordoba's Jewish Quarter takes on a special character. The Front Air Congress Hotel puts visitors close to these displays. One TourRadar traveler noted: "Malaga's Christmas lights were absolutely breathtaking creating a magical atmosphere throughout the entire city center."
Are attractions and sites open during Christmas and New Year in Andalucia?
Major sites maintain operations with adjusted schedules during the holidays. The Alhambra in Granada and Seville's Cathedral welcome visitors though hours change on December 24 31 and have limited openings on December 25 and January 1. The Saray Hotel in Granada provides convenient access to key attractions. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Despite the holiday season we could visit all major sites just needed to plan around the special holiday hours."
How do Andalucians celebrate New Year's Eve?
New Year's Eve follows local traditions across Andalucia. Crowds gather in Seville's Plaza Nueva and Granada's Plaza del Carmen to eat 12 grapes at midnight.
