This year, Calle Larios premieres a completely renovated proposal under the name **"The Nativity of Light",** a design that will transform the most emblematic artery of the city into a stage full of magic, color and sensations. The new production will feature large luminous medallions that will be synchronised with the music to create a unique visual and sound spectacle. The installation integrates a set of stars, side columns and stelae that, without overwhelming, provide height, movement and depth to the route, enveloping visitors and residents in a completely renewed Christmas atmosphere. The official lighting will take place on **Friday, November 28**, a moment that every year brings together thousands of people eager to experience the beginning of Malaga's Christmas. From that date, the lighting will be the protagonist of an exciting **show of music and lights** that will fill Larios with Christmas carols, verdiales and melodies synchronized with the new lighting design. As is tradition, there will be **three daily passes**, at **6:30 p.m**., **8:00 p.m.** and **10:00 p.m**., turning the historic center into a large open-air theater where every flash invites you to enjoy, photograph and share the unique atmosphere that Malaga creates on these dates.
