Dont know...but all Spain will be saving on christmas light energy in some way or another...so might not be so bright or last as long as last year.

I would like to go with some friends to see the lights this year but will come to Malaga by bus as none of us like to drive so far at night. Once at the bus station are they within walking distance or do we take another bus into the centre? Sorry to appear simple..... :lol:

they are a 1 minute walk from the bus station. You cant miss them. I was asking a while back about when they turned the lights on but only got witty answers, some quite funny ones. i dont think anyone really knows but i guess the 1st of december. i will post aftwer next weekend because we are in malaga on the 30th so i will find out

Oh goodie, thank you Costa Kid! I'm thinking that maybe we can do a bit of Christmas shopping while we are there. Can you recommend anywhere, again, within walking distance of the bus station? I know the Larios is nearby but the city centre or other shopping centres? We don't mind taking another bus:roll:

all the shops are within walking distance of the bus station. el corte ingles is the furthest walk but still only 5 minutes or 10 if you stop in the bodega for a sherry that you walk past on the way

I am sure a phone call to the Town Hall would reveal the answer.

Switched on yesterday, 1st Dec apparently! That's why your lights have dimmed.
