Guardamar’s nativity scene to move into a glass case in Town Hall Square

Christmas is already on its way in Guardamar. A new glass case has been installed in Town Hall Square to house the municipal nativity scene this year. It stands in the centre of the square, between the two staircases of the Casa Consistorial.

The rectangular structure has white framing and glass walls. It is still empty, but will let visitors view the nativity scene from every side while protecting it from rain, wind and curious hands during the festive season.

The nativity scene is one of Guardamar’s best-loved Christmas traditions and a must-see each year for families, older residents and children. The new case gives it a dedicated, prominent spot at the heart of the town, where everyone passing through the square can see it.

Now comes the loveliest part: watching it fill up with figures, little houses and shepherds over the coming weeks. La Gaceta will report on the installation and opening of the nativity scene when it opens to visitors.
