Torrox’s Christmas market started with an official opening ceremony on Tuesday and day one, which coincided with the first of this week’s two public holidays, attracted an international crowd.

The opening ceremony was attended by the Consul of Germany, Arnulf Braun, and the Vice-Consul and head of the UK Consulate in Malaga, Miriam Pérez, both of whom made a short speech during the ceremony.

The Mayor of Torrox, Óscar Medina, thanked SUR in English and its German sister paper SUR Deutsch, for its collaboration with the event, which is being organised by the company Mervensur, managed by José Miguel Macías.

The opening ceremony was followed by performances by the Aires del Faro, from Torrox Costa, and Aguasalá, from El Morche, as well as the German choir Blaue Jungs Shanty Sanger and the British choir Jingle Belles.
