Nativity scene in Torrevieja
Every year, after the celebration of the floral tribute to the Patron of the city of Torrevieja, Purisima Inmaculada Concepcion, the municipal Nativity Scene is opened in the church square which is opposite the main building of the Town hall.
The nativity scene is set on 220m2 in the church square and includes around 900 figures of which many of them are representations of Torrevieja, such as the Torre del Moro, the Eras del Sal salt loading deck and the windmill of the Calvario square.
A must for visitors to the area, the municipal nativity scene should be put in everyone’s diary for at least one visit. Different stands selling typical Christmas products like chestnuts, nuts, dried fruits and toys are also set in the surrounds of this fantastic nativity scene. There will be a large Christmas tree which will light up the square with it’s colourful lights and decoration.
Furthermore there is always a celebration outside the nearby church to see the New year in and to take part people need to eat one grape each time the clock strikes at midnight.
Did you know ? Beléns are elaborate nativity scenes – Belén is the Spanish word for Bethlehem. More than just a stable with animals and figurines, the Spanish beléns can be huge scenes,
