Strolling among the stalls of the Christmas markets is one of the plans par excellence of these holidays, and as November progresses we know more details about when each of them returns. This is the case of the Christmas market of El Corte Inglés de Nuevos Ministerios, which has already announced its return for 2024 and it will be this week: specifically on Thursday, November 14.
This market is known, especially, for the gastronomic offer of its foodtrucks. This year among the options are La Cocreta, La Romana, Rodilla, Garrapiñada, San Ginés sweets “and more”, which have not yet been announced.
Beyond the gastro, the market is also nourished by the following booths: Flowers + Candles, Bethlehem, Lights, Tree Ornaments, Leisure and Culture, Disney, Lego, Vicens and Migueláñez. And all this is accompanied by a music and light show.
