A lighting that incorporates surprises every night
From this weekend, and every night until days before Christmas night, different areas of the center of Arrecife, and the neighborhoods, will incorporate in a staggered manner new lighting that will invite families to go for a walk and enjoy the Christmas atmosphere in the capital of Lanzarote.
