Rain and debris were eased with many indoor stalls, Christmas music and a snow machine.

- We have probably been here three or four times, said one of the visitors Christin Persson.

She and Elvy Bengtsson have a tradition of visiting the Christmas market in Sölvesborg's castle slopes.

Another returning visitor was André Ernstsson Richardsson.

He wanted to show his girlfriend a little of his homeland.

- It's probably the twentieth time I'm here, he thought.
