Elche has unveiled its incredibly detailed Nativity Scene made up of more than 600 figures and animals which will be on display at the Hort del Xocolater next to the Palmeral de Elche until January 9.

The scene was inaugurated on Tuesday December 7 during a special event attended by the mayor, Carlos González, the President of the Association of Nativity Scene Makers, José Pérez, and the Christmas 2021 town crier, Manolo Alarcón.

Describing the Nativity as "the most beautiful in Spain", the mayor encouraged locals and visitors to enjoy the display, but more importantly, enjoy "the Christmas holidays responsibly".

"I would also like to congratulate the Association of Nativity Scene Makers for the great work they do throughout the year. Behind this scene there are many hours of work, enthusiasm and affection that has allowed us to appreciate and enjoy the detail of each of the scenes," he added.
