Looking for adventure this Christmas? We’ve discovered two festive day trips setting off from the Costa del Sol, offering Christmas magic, chocolate treats, and snow fun.
All things Christmas – Rute & Mollina
Start your festive celebrations early with a magical day out on Friday December 19 with Andalucia Day Trips.
The day begins in Rute, home to one of Andalusia’s most incredible Christmas displays. Over 1,500 kilos of chocolate are transformed into life-size figures, nativity scenes, and even Andalusian processions, all edible! Entrance is included and refundable with a purchase.
A sweet escape
There is also free time to explore Rute’s charming museums: the Sugar Museum, where you can see famous landmarks and figures made entirely of sugar; the Jamón Museum; the Turrón/Nougat Museum; and the Anise Museum, complete with tastings.
In the afternoon, the adventure continues to Mollina to visit the International Nativity Art Museum, the largest of its kind in Europe, with more than 100 nativity scenes and 2,000 figures from across the globe. It is a heart-warming, magical day perfect for families, friends, and anyone in the Christmas spirit.
Pick-ups are available from La Cala, Fuengirola, Benalmadena, and Torremolinos and the price is €42 per person. For more information and booking, visit www.daysoutandalucia.com
Snow day in Sierra Nevada
Looking for something to fill the “Chrimbo limbo” week between Christmas and New Year? Random Fun Adventures have the perfect solution with their Sierra Nevada Snow Trip on Saturday December 27.
Sierra Nevada, Europe’s southernmost ski resort, is famous for its stunning snow-capped peaks and sunny skies, making it one of the most scenic skiing destinations in Spain. Recent heavy snow has brought an earlier start to the ski season this year, so the slopes are in perfect condition for skiing, snowboarding, or simply enjoying the snowy landscape.
Do you want to build a snowman?
Whether you want to carve down the slopes, build snowmen, make snow angels, or just soak up the alpine atmosphere with a hot chocolate in hand, this trip offers something for everyone. Friendly guides ensure a fun, safe, and unforgettable experience, with plenty of time to explore the resort and capture magical winter moments.
This adventure is ideal for families, groups of friends, or anyone looking for a post-Christmas pick-me-up. Embrace the snow, laughter, and crisp mountain air while breaking free from the post-holiday lull.
Prices are €49 for adults and €44 for children under 18 and the trip is suitable for families and groups, with friendly guides and plenty of time to explore the resort.
Pick up is available in Duquesa and Estepona and places are very limited. Book your spot at www.randomfunadventures.com and enjoy a post-Christmas adventure in the snow.
