Luis de la Fuente, national coach, will be in charge this year of lighting the Christmas lights of the city of Madrid together with the mayor, José Luis Martínez-Almeida. The event, which will feature several surprises, will be celebrated on the 28th of November at the Puerta del Sol. De la Fuente, champion in the last Eurocup, takes the lead from Ana Guerra and the actors of Campeones, last year, and the restaurateur Lucio, in 2022.

The illuminations, which will bring numerous new events and reach more than 230 buildings in the 21 districts, will have 12 million 100% LED lights. One of these novelties will be the lights designed by primary and secondary school children who presented themselves to the school drawing competition that convened the Ayuntamiento last March, a contest whose winning proposals were transformed into Christmas lights.
