The city's display stretches further than Calle Larios, however with some 1.3 million lights in more than 500 streets. There is also a light show with 120 drones at the Palmeral de las Sorpresas, the Plaza de la Marina, Muelle Uno and Gibralfaro on 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 23 December at 8pm and 9 December at 8.30pm.

Singer Vanesa Martín had the job of flicking the switch, with the ceremony being followed by a concert by Andy & Lucas in the Plaza de la Constitución.
