ESTEPONA is rolling out its biggest festive programme yet this week, with a brand-new Christmas Park set to open this weekend beside the Auditorio Felipe VI.
The outdoor zone has been turned into a winter fairground with an ice rink, bumper cars, a carousel, inflatables and a dedicated house for Santa.
The council says the space will take centre stage over the holidays, with families expected to pack in throughout December.
Entry costs €5, while babies under 12 months can get in free.
