The projection lasts six minutes and is repeated three times a day coinciding with the musical passes of Larios Street (at 18.30, 20 and 21.30 hours).

The story tells the story of a girl who lives in the current moment and will highlight values ​​such as solidarity, companionship, generosity or gratitude. The visual has been created specifically for Malaga by the company Firefly, which has already made projections in historical monuments such as the Cathedral of León or the walls of Ávila.

Another novelty of this Christmas is the presence of an enchanted tree in the Alameda Principal. The show that is projected in the ficus closest to Larios Street lasts about five minutes and has been prepared exclusively for the city by the company Fireflyevents. It will tell the story of a girl who tries to return her lost splendor to the tree (a giant). For the different passes, two 20,000 lumens projectors, 16 led bulbs, 50 retro Edison bulbs and a smoke machine will be used.

In addition to the musical passes of Larios, Alcazabilla and the Alameda Principal, this year a new Christmas market has been set up in the Plaza de la Marina that adds to the one already in the Paseo del Parque. In addition, the city has five large Christmas trees located in the Plaza de la Constitución, Molina Lario, Huelin Park, La Marina Square and Enrique Garcia Herrera Square (Camas).

68 streets of the Historic Center have been illuminated and the city is a pioneer in the use of sustainable energy, since energy consumption is 9,676 euros compared to 53,760 ten years ago.
