  • 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.
