Hey All,

I finally arrived in Madrid - whooo! And I´ve noticed that the Christmas lights are up but not lit so I was wondering if anyone knew when they were lighting them up?

Also, does anyone know if they are having an outdoor ice rink at some point?

Thanks

Hi,

Not sure when they'll be lighting up the Christmas lights, probably in the next week or so.

As for the outdoor skating rink, there's one up already in the Plaza in front of the entrance to the Reina Sofia Museum, they charge €5 per hour including skate hire.

Thanks for the answer, I´m sure I´ll be dropping by the ice-rink for some fun. I spoke to my landlady and she thinks that the Christmas lights are being lit up on Saturday.

I hope that the Christmas lights are shining and that the PIG TAILS die laughing are swirling in the midnight air. I saw them put some up before I left and I think that they should look pretty good at night when lit up. I am talking about the lights at the Cibeles area.

Hi there!

I'm looking forward to the beggining of Christmas. There's a christmas atmosphere already though. Has any of you taken any pictures of Madrid christmas lights? If so, could you please show them to me?
Thanks in advanced and regards from lovely Madrid!

"regards from lovely Madrid!"

if you are here, why don't you just go out and see the lights in person?

why would you need pics of them if you are here in madrid?

saludos,

Hey Jer

I definitely think you're right. What I posted was kinda weak because I actually live in Madrid. But mind you, there's no christmas decoration in the area where I live yet so that's why I asked if any of you could show me some pictures you might have already taken. Unfortunately, I haven't taken any pictures yet. Have you? If so, could you please post them?
Thanks in advanced and regards from lovely Madrid ;-)
