Meet the mischievous reindeer crew: one stuck in a snowball, another guilty of cookie theft, and one dramatically sprawled face-down. Comedy meets Christmas magic on this festive stage.

 Praza Porta do Sol

The heart of Vigo's Christmas—a 40-45 meter hollow tree pulses with millions of LEDs in synchronized light shows. Walk inside, watch the magic, and feel the city's holiday galaxy come alive.

Rúa Elduayen

A golden gift-box archway opens into a winter wonderland: illuminated palm trees, giant bells, cone trees, and a glowing snowman. The red carpet gleams beneath sparkling decorations.

 The Magic of Vigo's Million-Bulb Christmas

Vigo lights up with over 12 million LED bulbs costing €2.37 million annually. The mayor's playful competition with other cities has made this Spain's most spectacular Christmas destination.

Rúa Policarpo Sanz

Climb the stairs back to magic. Giant glowing gift boxes overhead, a golden sleigh, toy soldiers, Santa's House, and a majestic reindeer create a miniature North Pole in downtown Vigo.
