Tips & Advice
- On November 29th, a contest on Es Radio Béjar is the way to secure a spot on the Christmas Train; plan ahead to participate.
- For rides on subsequent dates in December and January, arrive early to La Corredera as train seating is on a first-come, first-served basis until capacity is reached.
- The musical ambiance in Plaza Mayor and Calle Mayor won't begin until December 21st, so plan your visit accordingly if this is a key feature for you.
- Consider attending the lighting ceremony at 7 PM on November 29th, but note the train departs earlier at 6 PM from La Corredera.
- While the main event is in Béjar, check for smaller, related holiday activities in surrounding villages as the season progresses.
