La Navideña Plaza de España Madrid
La Navideña Plaza de España Madrid is a seasonal Christmas market in Spain's capital featuring over 40 stalls selling crafts and gift items. Beyond the market stalls, a 600 square meter ice skating rink operates beneath a large Christmas tree, with food vendors offering hot treats and traditional sweets.
This Christmas market returns to Madrid annually during the holiday season and has become an established part of the city's festive traditions. The project combines modern recreational activities like ice skating with traditional Christmas market offerings, creating an event that shapes local holiday celebrations.
The name refers directly to Christmas and reflects the purpose of this seasonal gathering. Families and friends use the plaza to walk between craft stalls, enjoy traditional sweets, and participate in activities together during the festive period.
The site is easily reached by public transport, as Plaza de España metro station serves multiple lines and numerous bus routes serve the area. The ice rink and market operate during daytime and evening hours, allowing visitors to explore at different times based on preference.
A special feature is an interactive Christmas tree about 12 meters tall that visitors can enter and explore its brightly lit interior. This installation offers an unexpected experience and is popular with photographers for its unique photo opportunities.
