After the many autumn and winter rains, there is a more hopeful outlook for the La Viñuela reservoir than a year ago. Although Lake Viñuela is still only at 21.7% of its capacity, this is already a significant improvement on last year. The provincial authority, the Diputación de Málaga, is confident that this will improve further in the coming months and has therefore decided to invest €1.06 million in renovating and improving the recreational area around the reservoir.

The project is part of a wider environmental and recreational plan, which means new picnic tables, benches and lampposts will be installed, green areas will be extended, parking areas will be redeveloped and the playground and dog park will be improved. The investment aims to make the area more attractive to both local residents and tourists, and to preserve and enhance the natural beauty of the area as the reservoir has aged significantly over time.

And the fact that work to install the lights is already almost complete can only mean that the opening day for the lighting of all the lights is near. Every year, thousands of people come to Málaga to enjoy the Christmas lights and the special atmosphere it brings with it, together with their families.

There are also more and more activities in the old part of the city, from shows to festivals, concerts, zambombas or the famous stalls in the Paseo del Parque. A good reason to plan a visit in December or January as it really is a pleasure to walk through the city in the evening.
