Nativity scenes in Jávea

  The traditional Nativity scene of Jávea is already open for the visitors of the Soler Blasco Municipal Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography located at Plaça dels Germans Segarra square # 1 (contact telephone number 96 579 10 98).

The museum’s opening hours are Tuesday to Friday from 10:00 to 13:00 and 17:00 to 20:00 h. Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from 10:00 to 13:00 h. The museum will close on Mondays.

The reason for locating this year the nativity scene model in the Soler Blasco Museum is because in this way there is no need for glazing the entire scene for protecting it from the weather. With no glass, it would be easier to contemplate the magnificent details of craftsmanship and small details of the figures.

This scale model takes careful detail about several scenarios and traditional Christmas scenes, as the baby Jesus crib, the procession of the Three Wise Men or the daily life of the shepherds.

One of the scheduled events related to Christmas and nativity scenes is the Casa del Cable exhibition about the work done by those attending the courses of  Nativity scene making organized this year.  The other event is the 5^th Jávea’s Nativity Scenes Contest awards ceremony that will take place on Saturday, 17 December at 18:00 h at the Casa de la Cultura, where also will be a christmas carol concert performed by la Rondalla Choral group.
