It is an installation with 22 meters of perimeter for more than 30 meters of real tree and almost 80 meters of virtual tree.

Later members of the group B-Vocal, the most outstanding formation of the music to cappella in Spain and one of the most important of the world went on the stage.

More than 300 activities and shows around the tree
The Circular Square tree combines tradition and innovation and, in addition to being sustainable, will be a living tree full of families, children and adults during the holidays.
That is why throughout the square, and throughout Christmas, will be developed around him more than three hundred audiovisual shows, magic performances and workshops where children and their families will be able to learn, free of charge, to paint their own nativity figures , To make muffins and Christmas sweets, to plant their own Christmas tree and to enjoy pinatas, dances, theater, storytelling, concerts, carols and many more surprises.
