Getaways The most famous Christmas markets in Europe
Although not all of them are, here is a sample of the most famous living nativity scenes in Spain that are being celebrated these days, such as those in Santillana del Mar, in Cantabria, or Peralta, in Navarra.
BETWEEN SINAGOGAS AND POSADAS IN NAVARRA
Peralta
is located 30 kilometers from the town of Olite
,
a municipality that goes back in time every year to represent one of the most important living nativity scenes in Navarra.
The town becomes a great play in which most of its inhabitants participate to remember
the birth of Jesus
.
In this way, we can visit a synagogue, the palace of Governor Quirino,
inns and bakeries
.
It is part of the nativity scene route recommended by portals such as Civitatis to visit these days.

any trip to Cantabria,
at Christmas it is even more special.
