Arcos de la Frontera, Spain - Christmas Living Nativity

December 21, 2013

This was our second trip to Arcos so we could see the Living Nativity that they do throughout the entire town. We arrived before it started, we we didn't see it live, but we did get to see all the set pieces set up.  By the time we were leaving, there were many more people so it gets to be a pretty big event.  The strangest part was a life-size statue of a man pooping...with a poo pile to match.  They mean business when they make their sets authentic! We even got some more fruit tile from the same shop we got tile from earlier than matches.  I was super stoked when I found the tiles.  A very nice relaxing day walking around the city.

This is a typical Spanish decoration depicting the Three Kings delivering the presents on January 6th.  In Spain, they do not have presents on Christmas Day.
