Nativity Displays in Santa Cruz, Tenerife

The capital unveils its belén (nativity scene) in the Plaza de Candelaria at 18.00 on 17th December, so here's one we made earlier (from there last year.)

The traditional Nativity display inside the Cabildo de Tenerife (Island Corporation) building in Santa Cruz was opened on Monday and can be visited between now and January 6th. It's open on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m and 4 p.m to 9.30 p.m. (December 24th and 31st, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. December 25th, January 1st and 6th, from 4 p.m. to 9.p.m.)

The display, with over 1,000 unique, hand-made pieces, has been described as a real jewel. Constructed at the beginning of the 20th Century and, over 100 years old, it's the first time that it's been on show in Santa Cruz.

Santa Cruz town hall has installed the traditional nativity display on the steps of the Municipal Palace (Calle Viera y Clavijo, No 46.) It can be visited by members of the public on working days, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
