The main Christmas attractions in Seville now have set dates: the lighting ceremony—featuring a concert by Niña Pastori—Navigalia, and the massive Xtmas Park. But it won’t be the only one. This December, La Rinconada is debuting a 3,000 m² Christmas park with free admission: Abrazalandia, “El Abrazo de la Navidad,” opens on Friday, December 4.
This recreational space will be open until January 4 at the El Abrazo complex, where the main attraction is a natural ice rink billed as the largest in Andalusia, with snow cannons operating daily.
The park is aimed at families with children, but also at adults looking for a Christmas outing without having to pay an admission fee. It brings together attractions, shows, and food stands all in one place.
What You’ll Find at This Christmas Park
In addition to the ice rink, there are inflatable attractions and a children’s train. Santa’s House is the highlight for the little ones, as that’s where they can hand in their letters. The program also includes parades and shows on the weekends, and the food stands let visitors stay a while without having to leave the grounds.
In addition, the Three Wise Men will arrive at the venue on December 26.
In addition to its regular programming, Abrazalandia is hosting four themed events: a Christmas market from December 4–8; an Argentine barbecue from December 11–13; an international beer festival from December 18–20; and Burger Fest from December 25–27.
As for prices, children’s attractions cost €3.50, while those for adults cost €5. The ice rink costs €8, though gloves are required. You can purchase a wristband for €1 and recharge it at the venue’s ticket office or online.
Abrazalandia Hours
Hours vary by day:
- From 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on December 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 19, and 20; also from December 26 through 30, and from January 2 through 4.
- Additionally, it will be open from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on December 4, 11, 17, 18, December 21 through 23, December 25, and January 1.
December 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 24, and 31 are not listed on the published calendar, so it’s best to confirm the schedule before visiting.
How to get to the Christmas venue in La Rinconada
From Seville, the most convenient way to get there is by train: the Cercanías (lines C-1 and C-3) take about ten minutes from Seville-Santa Justa. The nearest bus stop, in San José de la Rinconada, is about a 10-minute walk from the venue.
If you’re driving, there’s ample free parking on the front and back streets. The entrance is accessible for people with limited mobility.
If you’re visiting with young children, the first weekend (December 5–8) features midday hours, making it the best time to see the park in natural light and enjoy a leisurely visit.
