No matter where you go in Spain at Christmastime, there’s one tradition you’ll see just about everywhere: the bel\u00e9n<\/em>, or nativity scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, these aren’t just your typical setups featuring the Holy Family and a handful of farm animals. Spanish nativity scenes go all out, often depicting the entire town of Bethlehem (“bel\u00e9n” <\/em>means “Bethlehem” in Spanish). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the best and most cherished Christmas markets in Seville is the annual Feria del Bel\u00e9n<\/a>, an entire market dedicated to ornate, handcrafted decorations with a special emphasis on bel\u00e9n <\/em>figurines. From mid-November until just before Christmas, this lively cultural market takes over Avenida de la Constituci\u00f3n, with dozens of stalls selling these one-of-a-kind items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
