Various Spanish municipalities announce holiday programs and local contests

Several municipalities in Spain have launched various initiatives for the 2026-2027 holiday season. In Granada, the City Council has opened registration for Christmas schools for children aged 3 to 12, offering various services including dining and morning care.

In Moncada, the local government is offering a 1,000 euro “baby check” for families with newborns to help cover initial expenses. Other towns are focusing on cultural traditions through various competitions: Ciudad Real and Villamayor are hosting nativity scene contests, while Ibiza has launched a decoration contest for balconies and shop windows where winners are chosen by public vote.

Musical and artistic contests are also being organized, such as the Christmas carol competition in Alcalá de Henares and a Christmas postcard contest for students in Guadalcázar.
