Christmas on the Costa Blanca: Why Winter Is One of the Best Times to Be Here

When you think of Christmas, you might picture snow, scarves, and frosty mornings. But here on the Costa Blanca, the festive season looks a little different — and we wouldn’t change a thing!       

If you’re dreaming of a Christmas with sunshine, sea views, and a relaxed Mediterranean spirit, here’s why spending the festive season in Spain could be your new favourite tradition.      

A Different Kind of Christmas Magic

December on the Costa Blanca brings mild temperatures, blue skies, and golden light — the kind that makes you want to spend the morning by the sea and the afternoon in a cosy restaurant with friends.   

Instead of wrapping up for snow, you’ll be enjoying 20°C sunshine, palm trees strung with fairy lights, and beach walks in a T-shirt. It’s a Christmas filled with warmth — in every sense of the word.      

Festive Traditions, Spanish Style

You’ll find a unique mix of Spanish and international Christmas traditions here. Towns like Torrevieja, Alicante, and Jávea host charming Christmas markets, light displays, and live music.   

Local favourites include:   

• Belenes – traditional nativity scenes displayed in town squares.   
• Three Kings Parades – held on 5th January, with music, costumes, and sweets for children.   
• Festive tapas and churros – because no celebration in Spain is complete without great food!
