Cortylandia: la magia de la Navidad llega a Madrid

Christmas has arrived. A highly-anticipated season that gives the streets of the beautiful city of Madrid a one of a kind atmosphere, filled with magic and excitement. Both kids and adults can enjoy the vibrant and elegant Spanish metropolis during such a special time, with an endless number of plans and activities for everyone.

One of the city’s most popular events around this time of year is Cortylandia, the animated Christmas decorations put up each year on the façade of the Preciados El Corte Inglés store in the center of Madrid, specifically at the calle Maestro Victoria entrance.

Every year Cortylandia has a different theme, always related to the world of children and it includes stories, magic, fantastical beings and all sorts of animated elements that delight the little ones with tales and songs. The display lasts about 15 minutes and follows a set schedule.
