The market offered 30 stalls tempting visitors with an array of festive cuisine and decorations, along with clothes, jewellery and artisan products.

The event included live entertainment provided by the Drang Drummers, Costa Soul Singers and Laura Elen, along with and flamenco dancing, an Elvis tribute and a visit by Father Christmas.

President Brenda Meredith used the occasion to present a cheque for 1,000 euros to the Alhaurín el Grande branch of the Royal British Legion.
