Arcos Gardens Team celebrates Christmas

Last Tuesday Arcos Gardens celebrated the traditional office Christmas lunch, enjoying a nice meal and a good time was had by all.
This event was much anticipated, not only to celebrate the Christmas period, but also the successful sale of nine “Fairway Gardens” townhouses in the first week of selling.
These properties are all located frontline golf on the championship golf course Arcos Gardens.

Christmas in the rural Andalucía

Last Saturday more than 20.000 visitors from the whole Andalusia were attracted to walk in the cobbled streets of Arcos de la Frontera to observe the renowned Living Nativity, which this year was the fifteenth edition.

The Living Nativity in Arcos is the oldest one celebrated since 1980 and this year marked the 25th anniversary of the first stage.
Living Nativity involves over 400 people, actors for a day, and they represented 31 traditional Nativity scenes where the Historical Quarter Belén is transformed into the land of the Hebrews in just 5 hours.
The involved actors invited to taste some traditional Spanish Christmas sweets such as “manteca colorá” (red butter), “pestiños” and “buñuelos”.
Colourful scenes and brilliant lights illuminated Arcos streets, offering a touch of charming to people walking around the town, to remember us which special period we are living.
Arcos was the first example to celebrate Living Nativity for other local towns such as Jédula and Ubrique.
