Mayor José Ballesta and members of the Corporation attended this evening the Christmas Square welcome show, in which Ruth Lorenzo and Siempre Así have performed.
Thousands of people have crowded the square to witness the lighting of the Great Tree that this year gains in height, with a total of 40 meters and 60,000 lights of low consumption.
The center of the Tree will have blocks of ice and a winter themed area that can be visited.
The performances of Ruth Lorenzo, godmother of the act, and always like that, have been accompanied by a show in which projections have been made in the adjoining buildings, pyrotechnics in their roofs and special effects of last generation, used by companies such as Disney.
