Aboriginal Nativity in Garachico

The Hotel La Quinta Roja in Garachico, Tenerife, has a nativity scene on display, until February 2nd, inspired by the pre-hispanic culture of La Gomera. As you can see in the photos that accompany this report from BienMeSabe, all the figures in the model that depicts the rural customs of the ancient Gomerans, right down to Mary, Joseph and Jesus, are goat skin wearing aboriginals; the original inhabitants of the islands.
