News from Estepona

Kempinski Hotel Bahía has officially announced the date of this much-anticipated event. The annual tree lighting ceremony will see Mr Pursche, General Manager, the Kempinski Hotel Bahía team and visitors count down to the illumination of the tree, which will take place on 30 November. The event is hailed as ‘When Christmas officially begins in Estepona’ by José María García Urbano, the Mayor of Estepona.

This year, the Christmas Market is expanding and introducing new and exciting activities for the whole family. Stalls will feature gastronomic delights, such as local honey, sweets, handmade chocolates, roasted coffee and, of course, wines and olive oils, alongside handcrafted items, beautiful jewellery and those perfect Christmas gifts. The market is expected to welcome over 600 visitors that day, of all ages, from all along the Costa del Sol. This year, the hotel will also bring back the popular children's area, with more stalls, fun activities for kids, face painting and two bouncy castles. Santa Claus will make a special appearance, working extra hard this year to hear all the children’s Christmas wishes and personally collect their letters to him. While the children play, parents can shop or enjoy one of the two bars that will be available throughout the day.

The market will open from 13:00 to 20:00, with choirs singing at various times during the day. Santa Claus will be present from 16:30 until late, passing through the lobby to light the tree just as the sun goes down. The event is open to the public. Recommended parking areas are Laguna Beach, with pedestrian access via the promenade, or along Calle de Mare Nostrum, where there is ample public parking. Parking on the hotel grounds is best avoided, as it can become congested during the early evening.
