Christmas, one of the most magical times of the year, is just around the corner! The biggest fans of the holiday season will surely have spent weeks planning their Christmas decorations while many have already started dressing up their homes with festive colours and lights. If you are one of them and you live in Cumbre del Sol Residential Resort, don’t forget that we are running a very special Christmas decoration contest. We love to spread Christmas spirit!

As these magical dates draw closer and we enjoy meetups with friends and family, it’s also time for the arrival of the Christmas markets. From handmade products to decorations to liven up any part of your home, there are a huge variety of objects to be found in them. In addition, there are also stalls selling food which is typical of the area – here in Alicante, don’t miss polvorones, a type of shortbread dusted with icing sugar, and turrón, an almond nougat.

This is your chance to discover the best Christmas markets on the Costa Blanca. Soak up their magic as you take advantage to buy something for your home or get presents for your loved ones. Here are five Christmas markets close to your home in Cumbre del Sol Residential Resort!

Altea Christmas market is taking place from the 6th to the 9th of December in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, from 11am-2pm and from 5pm-9pm. There will be more than a dozen stalls and children’s activities and you can also make the most of the chance to stroll through its old town, appreciating the charms of this lovely city’s paved streets and white houses.

In Calpe, there’s the 6th Fira de Nadal Calp, also from the 6th to the 9th December. It will be taking place in the old town with musical performances, children’s activities and products from associations and local businesses. Don’t miss it!

In Jávea there will be a handicrafts market located in the Plaza de la Iglesia which began in November and will be returning on the 8th December.
