I was gutted that we’d missed the turning on of the Christmas lights in Benijófar but we left before they went on. In Spain the lights in all the towns don’t go on until the 6th December which is Constitution Day – a celebration of the day Spain became a democracy and is national holiday. The day is seen as the start of the December holidays and a long weekend is normally taken in conjunction with the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
So when we arrived in Santander on the evening of the 5th all the lights were on and the place was buzzing and had a great holiday feel to it. And it was nice and warm 😎
