Thanks to the Reyes not visiting until January 6, when everyone gets their presents, the streets are still full of shoppers.
The capital of Madrid is no exception and as bustling as ever, despite the pandemic.
Most shoppers were obediently wearing masks as they went about their mission this week. And, apart from the fantastic Christmas lights scattered around the city, their are plenty of festive things on offer.
They range from a Christmas market in Plaza Colon, where an ice rink has been put up to a giant Christmas tree in Puerta del Sol and famous light ball in Calle Alcala, nearby.
