- Check the weather forecast before attending the drone show, as performances may be rescheduled due to adverse conditions. Have a backup plan for the following day.
- Arrive early to secure a good viewing spot along the Bay of La Concha for the drone shows, especially on opening night.
- Explore the Christmas Market before or after the drone show to discover unique artisanal gifts and enjoy festive treats.
- Consider visiting the Christmas Market on a weekday to avoid larger crowds and enjoy a more relaxed shopping experience.
