Christmas Camels

Spotted yesterday under the Setas.

The camels were being groomed and prepared for the opening of the Encarnación Christmas Market (today) and will be available for rides until January 5th. They also add a very authentic look to the large Belén (nativity scene) being constructed. More pics from the market later…

XI Christmas Market

This year marks the eleventh edition of the annual Christmas Craft Market, to be held in the Plaza Nueva from this Thursday December 16th until the arrival of the Magic Kings on January 5th.

There will be 72 stalls, more than half with artisans from Sevilla, and others featuring crafts from all over Spain.

Let’s hope the weather conditions this year are better. I remember feeling so sorry for everyone during last year’s rainy winter as this must have kept at least some shoppers away. This is my favourite market of the year and, especially at night with the trees all wrapped in pretty Christmas lights, it’s a very festive atmosphere.

Hours: 11.00 – 15.00 / 17.00 – 21.00
Closed the afternoons of 24th & 31st December
Closed all day 25th December and 1st January
