«The truth is, this year is very beautiful»; “Really amazing” ; “What an impressive montage!”; “It looks like Manhattan”; “More people than last year”… these were some of the most frequently repeated comments as night fell on Saturday in Seville, as the countdown began. … It drew amazement on the faces of thousands and thousands of people who came as a family to the center to enjoy the lighting of the center. Christmas The brightest in town. There’s no shortage of reasons to believe this is the case: More than nine million LEDs illuminate more corners than ever before, but with a pioneering role above the rest to light up more corners. The Magical Forest on Avenida de la Constitución. When the municipal government announced this change to the Christmas scene of one of the main arteries in the historic center of Seville, few people noticed the visual impact it would provide. Complete success.
The afternoon of Christmas lighting, with its own merits, has entered the Seville calendar as one of the busiest days, with children being the real heroes of popping the cork of the Christmas holidays. It is difficult to calculate the number of people who crowd in year after year Puerta de Jerez-Avenida de la Constitución-Plaza Nueva and Plaza de San Francisco axis It gives enough signs that it is a great day indeed.
For this particular reason, Local police district The Christmas plan, approved by the government of José Luis Sanz due to the impossibility of reaching an agreement with the unions due to their high economic demands, heralded a complex evening of illumination. If two out of three officers do not report to work in the morning, only thirty come to their posts in the afternoon, forcing the City Council to request the integration of other police officers. But it’s still not enough. Their presence was rare on the streets, and non-existent at the traffic control points leading to the center. This Saturday, anyone could enter the kitchen with their car, causing a very complicated traffic situation. An idea of what the city was like a few minutes before 7pm, the appointed time to press the light button, is that all the car parks in the center and surrounding area were marked ‘full’.
Nearly two hours ago, families, with children as main protagonists, began arriving to take a seat on Constitution Street. The section between Alemanes and Plaza NuevaForty minutes later, Seville’s emergency department was fully arrived Traffic signal capacity. It has become difficult to navigate the streets adjacent to the Avenue.
The wait was shortened by the musical performance presented by the Korean singer Pastora Solerthis year’s City Medal, which was accompanied by the Municipal Symphony Band, the San Francisco Solano School Choir, the Escolanía Esperanza Macarena and the Escolanía de la Vera Cruz de Brenes. Referring to this year’s Christmas slogan launched by the city council, “The Road that Leads to Seville,” the artist explained: “Roads are made by water, wind and cold…”
“All families can be together”
with Comrades As performers at the concert, the clock was approaching the appointed time and the mayor, José Luis Sanz, appeared on the stage accompanied by a group of children, among them Marta, Álvaro and Aisha, children from the city. Al-Ula Foundation And the winners of a school competition called by the city council to design some Christmas lights. And so, also the choir of the institution with the soul of the entity, Emilio Caracafé, who played the guitar so that his Seville girls would make Velasenco sing that Niña Pastore had made popular a year earlier among the zambomba, palillos and tambourines. It was almost a sight in the Guinness Book of Records.
But among the carols were two messages filled with the Christmas spirit. One girl’s wish is for “all families to come together at Christmas.” Caracafé He asked that Christmas bring “light to life.”
The countdown has begun and the surprise has arrived. The 32 trees on the street left everyone present with their mouths open, as if they were from a foreigner New York Whether just searching or visiting Gioconda: Pictures, pictures and more pictures.
After that, Pastora Soler’s voice came back again and she did it in a stunning way, performing “Sevilla”, a work that Manuel Alejandro had done for Rocío Jurado. With DJ Fonseka the party became a small set. Seville’s commitment is increasingly determined to make Christmas City Festivalsuch as Holy Week or the Fair.
