Here it is, it has arrived! You can smell it from the scent of cinnamon, you can see it from the sparkling lights that make the city shine. You can hear it from the songs that echo in the alleys of the center, but above all you can hear it in the hearts: the Christmas it's here.
When we talk about Christmas we immediately think of tradition and also in the small Riva del Garda, lying on the northern shores of the lake of the same name, we are preparing for this magical period.
As for the culinary specialties we cannot forget the classic pandoro and panettone, which fill our tables. To get more into the Christmas tradition of Trentino, the "Zelten“: Cake made with candied fruit and dried fruit. I recommend accompanying it with a spicy and hot one Mulled wine, red wine with cloves, fruit and spices in infusion. And for those who want to drink something more gluttonous without giving up warmth and spirit, here is the excellent one bombardino: vov with cream.
Even the city is dressed up for a party: lights and decorations dress the historic center from the last days of November until after New Year's Eve. The atmosphere is magical and makes young and old in Riva del Garda dream, like every year.
But above all, what makes us think more about Christmas? Yes, just him, that rather plump gentleman with the long white beard and his beautiful red dress. Did you understand who we are talking about? Yup, Santa Claus.
You can meet him right in Riva during the December weekends. There Santa's House it is the Rocca. This small castle overlooking the lake in the heart of the city is festively decorated to make the dreams of all children come true. The program of activities is very rich and can be found on the official website. Throughout the month of December in Santa's House there are activities for children and families looking for a little magic.

Of course there is also a large mailbox to post, so you don't waste time. Christmas is already upon us and the elves have a lot to do at this time. So why not give him a hand inWorkshop of the Elves?
