- Arrive early for popular events like the Three Kings' parade and Santa's visit, as they can attract large crowds.
- Check the specific opening hours for Santa's House daily, as they vary and access may be limited 30 minutes before closing.
- Consider attending the craft workshops; pre-registration is often required due to limited spots.
- The pyromusical show on Playa de Levante is a highlight; find a good viewing spot on the beach or nearby promenade in advance.
- Many events are free, but some, like Santa's House, have a small voluntary donation, so bring some change.
