✨The Llumets of Mahón: Christmas Lights & Traditions in Menorca✨

Llumets of Mahon 2025

✨🕯️🎄🌟The Llumets of Mahón mark the official start of Christmas in Menorca each year on December 6th, with the festive switch-on of the Christmas lights in Mahón town centre.

Llumets, meaning “little lights” in Catalan, are a traditional Christmas group made up of children or local participants who symbolise light, joy, and community. One of the most memorable moments of this Menorca Christmas tradition is when the Llumets abseil down the main church in Mahón, lanterns in hand, before parading through the streets to turn on the Christmas lights across the town.

In this video, Tonia shares a glimpse of this much-loved local celebration, capturing the festive atmosphere that makes Mahón at Christmas such a special time for residents and visitors alike, and inviting you to experience one of the most magical things to do in Mahón in December while discovering the charm of Menorca’s Christmas traditions.✨🕯️🎄🌟
