What people love about Christmas & New Year Tours in Andalucia
The local guides were excellent and so knowledgeable. The cities you get to visit are amazing and worth staying there. There definitely should be better organization. They don’t give you an itinerary besides a general one; it would be much better if they gave each person a printed out version of when we are doing activities/guides and what they are. Especially since times for dinner/when to meet are just said verbally on the bus but they don’t make sure everyone heard it. For example some people were sleeping when important times were mentioned and they did not clarify or check to make sure everyone knew. Additionally, they should tell people beforehand in Sevilla that they need their physical passports to enter the heritage sites and also mention that they sell our very fast so we could have bought tickets beforehand. If they had an itinerary with all this info it it would help. I was very disappointed I wasn’t able to visit the alcazar in Seville. They also make you put in your dietary restrictions and I did, but it was completely ignored. The restaurants would try and accommodate but for one meal I just had potatoes for the entree. So be prepared to just buy your own meals if you don’t eat a certain type of food. I would still recommend this group, but if you have more time pick one that is longer, I wished we had more time at each city and more free time. Also, bring a bottle of hot sauce or something if you like spices; the meals were very plain.
Andalucia & Toledo, 4 days
- Madrid, Andalucia y Toledo
The cities we saw were all beautiful and the city guides were quite good. Our guide, Ofecia(sp?) Was excellent. Very caring. For me, it was a bit too rushed and could have been done in one more day. Late nights and early mor ings were tough.
- Andalucia & Toledo, 5 days on Tuesdays
It was hood. Food was not that good in a couple of places.
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.

A TourRadar traveler shared: "Celebrating New Year's Eve in Seville was unforgettable - the whole city comes alive with festivities and the traditional grape-eating ceremony was such a unique experience."
