On New Year’s Eve in Algarrobo, vandals targeted public festive displays, burning Christian‑themed Christmas decorations, including a nativity scene in Plaza de España.
The town hall issued a formal denunciation, reporting that the offenders had destroyed lights and seasonal motifs not only in Plaza de España but also in Parque de la Escalerilla and other municipal parks.
The damage affected decorations installed for the Christmas period, including Christian symbols.
At the time of the announcement, no individuals had been identified or apprehended in connection with the vandalism.
