Christmas Markets

We go to the Christmas markets to find everything we need to make and decorate the nativity scene. You’ll find a giant nativity scene in Plaça de Sant Jaume.
Did you know that the most unusual figurine in the nativity scene is the caganer (‘the pooper’) hidden away at the back?
Keep a look out for them at the Christmas markets!
