Overview
- City hall published a first-time dynamic calendar flagging Very High and High attendance days, with traffic restrictions that adjust to crowd levels in the central Christmas zone.
- Vitrasa launched the Nadal Bus to tour the lights on a 40‑minute route, priced at €5 with PassVigo and €9 general, with 85 scheduled departures and capacity to scale with demand.
- Several features remain to be completed after the switch‑on, with sections of Gran Vía and Vialia still unlit or unfinished and the Ferris wheel not yet operating.
- Hospitality, taxi and maritime operators are mobilized for a two‑month peak: hotels prioritize nights near the lights, taxis suspend weekly rests and warn about illegal VTC pricing, and ferries add capacity with the Barco do Nadal and daytime Cíes excursions.
- The residents’ circulation pass was reactivated as an optional aid for checks in affected streets, visitors continued to arrive despite rain with many from Portugal, and the monumental Nativity at Casa das Artes opened free through January 6.
