If this is your first Christmas on the Costa Blanca, get ready to experience a festive season quite different from what you're used to. Far from the intense cold of Northern Europe, Finestrat welcomes you with mild days, clear skies and a peaceful atmosphere that invites you to enjoy every moment.

Spending your first festive season in a new home in Finestrat is a perfect opportunity to start new traditions, discover local markets, stroll by the sea at your own pace, and embrace the relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle. You won’t need a scarf or snow to feel the magic of Christmas… although if you do miss white landscapes, you can always plan a getaway to Sierra de Aitana or Alcoy (approx. 1 hour by car), where snow often makes an appearance during the winter months.

In this article, we share ideas to make the most of your first December in the area and start feeling at home from day one.

Celebrate Christmas like a local in your new home in Finestrat

One of the best ways to settle into your new home in Finestrat is by embracing local traditions. In December, the village lights up with decorations, music and activities for the whole family. In the historic centre you’ll find Christmas markets with handmade goods, typical sweets like turrón and polvorones, and performances that allow you to immerse yourself in Spanish culture.

What’s more, being close to Benidorm and other coastal towns means you can enjoy unique events without losing the calm of your new residential surroundings. A perfect plan? Spend the morning walking along the beach, and the afternoon soaking up the festive spirit with mountain views from your terrace.

Your Mediterranean home: the perfect space to create new traditions

One of the great things about owning a new home in Finestrat is being able to reinvent the way you celebrate the holidays. With spacious interiors, sunny terraces and open-plan kitchens, the new build properties in this area are designed for creating special moments.

Why not host a Mediterranean-style dinner using fresh produce from the local market? Or even ring in the New Year outdoors, toasting with cava under the stars. In Finestrat, the mild winter temperatures let you enjoy the outdoors far more than in other parts of Europe — something international residents really appreciate.

And if you’re welcoming guests from back home, treating them to a different kind of Christmas will make for an unforgettable experience for everyone.
