Ibiza is once again transformed into The City of Christmas, a cultural and festive project that turns every corner of the city into a stage full of life. The Ibiza Town Hall has prepared a totally free program that will run from November 21 to January 11, with activities distributed in different areas of the municipality: from the tent of Vara de Rey to squares, parks, churches and cultural centers.
The Consistory also presents an important novelty: the new accessible letters to Santa Claus and the Three Wise Men, designed so that all children, without exception, can write their wishes without barriers. The letters can be downloaded free of charge from the municipal website.
