Alicia Chrismas - The light show at the Botanical Garden La Concepcion 📷 Malaga - Spain

Magic and fantasy are present in the best show I have ever seen in my life, a unique event that I could enjoy totally amazed and I hope to be able to transmit to you today a small part of what I felt that night.

I can describe this experience as totally wonderful and out of this world, in which I was thrilled at every step I took, because I lived it as if I had entered the world of dreams, but of those dreams where you are left with your mouth open with the surprise of what you see and hear and with your eyes so big in front of so much splendour that it was impossible to close them.

I will not tire of saying it, it has been a journey full of pure magic, but the magic of fairy tales, and I felt I was inside a film, and it was the film Alice in Wonderland. It seemed so real to me, that today I remember that day on the 1st of January and I can't believe I lived that experience.

Alice Chrismas is the light show this year to this day, January 6th, and every year it has a different theme. I'm glad this was my first experience because it would be great to come back every year. I'm a fan of art and fantasy and for me this has been big, very big.

Throughout this post you will see the night photographs, in night mode that I have taken with my phone and that take us through the journey that the show takes us on. Lights, lights everywhere on a beautiful night, where tears of emotion welled up at every moment. On the way there were indications on how to follow the route so as not to miss anything at all. The entrance fee was 11.50 euros and it was worth it, it was worth every step I took.

You will see the route on the map which I took pictures of, but I will tell you about my experience starting with the artificial lake in the garden where the decorations were beautiful, the cups on the water, the light projections and animations on the pine trees. This first part represents the ice lake, fascinating. While watching the reflection on the pines with the lights changing between bluish colours, a voice spoke behind, introducing people to this fantasy.

The paths were decorated with light mushrooms and also lights on the small bushes and trees, guiding the way and every now and then a sign appeared, characters from the story. Seeing the children's faces, the innocence of them seeing this, was priceless. For an hour and a half I was a child and enjoyed it to the fullest. My eyes had to catch every detail.

Along the way there were special decorations and spaces to take pictures and all around, everywhere you looked was pure beauty. Then I came to the golden columns, a very magical and unique space, very close to the water lilies.

It is precisely this space that was dedicated to the scene of the tea party movie and where Alice, played by a girl, sang and danced for everyone who passed by. Her performance was constant and to give you an idea, every fifteen minutes 200 people could enter, so the flow of people was constant.

People from all over come to enjoy this show, not only locals but people from all over Spain and many tourists and foreigners. I never tire of saying it, it is wonderful.

The tour led me to an area with star decorations and all brightly lit up where there was a man operating a giant puppet of the cat that appears in the film. People could sit next to him and take pictures, while the cat moved, opened and closed his eyes and smiled. One of the things I liked the most.

Continuing with the representation of the tea party, we came to a place in the garden where the mad hatter was, one of my favourite characters, because of his joy, spontaneity and because he is mad, but a healthy madman. He talked to the audience, asked them questions and acted in a formidable way. The surroundings full of coloured lights made for a fantastic performance.

Then I walked along the bamboo paths, where among them there were different light decorations, posters, and many cats. From this path, which is quite long, I could see other scenes taking place in the garden.

I came to a giant Father Christmas where all the children were taking pictures, as well as giant mushrooms and creating the most spectacular fantasy.

The paths became coloured, so many colours, there was nothing better for me than what I was seeing, where the trees seemed to be from an alternate world and Alice figures appeared everywhere, projections and as you can see it was pure magic.

The path led me to the palace of the botanical garden where images were projected and in the background there were songs and music. The palace of the queen in the film, then in the area of the wisteria gazebo she would be greeting the people passing by, bowing and taking pictures with everyone.

More paths, more decorations, especially the clocks that are characteristic of the film, lights, smoke, projections, characters, everything invited us to dream and to live an unforgettable moment. And so it was and so it will be, I will never forget what I experienced.

Further on there was an area with food stalls for people who wanted to stay there, perfectly set up.

But I wanted to follow the path where more illuminated trees and decorations awaited me.

A path of pure fantasy with those lights above me, today I close my eyes and see them again and enter that world. It was the path that led me to the end of the show and through the portal of fantasy and the dream world back to the real world.

I assure you that there are no words to describe what it feels like to be right there, you have to live it and I did.

Thank you all for joining me on this Epiphany day where I bring you something unique, a luxury show. I send you all a big greeting. See you soon.
Amonet.
