El Trompo shopping centre, next to the northern motorway in La Vera (La Orotava), opens the Christmas season again with its traditional lights switch-on. The organisers promise an afternoon of workshops and children's characters, music, live performances and more, in the centre's main square, where the big tree and the Christmas lights are set up.
It takes place on Thursday 5 November 2026 from 17:00. From then on, the guest artist is Güicho, a children's entertainer, with laughs and games for the little ones. The organisers do not give the exact time the lights go on or a price, so it is best to arrive at the start of the afternoon.
