One of the Christmas traditions here in Spain is the Belén, a very elaborate moving Nativity scene. Most families create their own in their home and I am told that each town has their own "Belén committee," a group of volunteers who put one in the town square and it supposedly changes each year. We went with some friends to the one here in Camarma on Christmas Eve. It was amazing. Enjoy the pics!
The surrounding walls and passageway were decorated to look like old Bethlehem.
Here are some miniature people dancing around a flickering fire.

A moving river through the village
A very life-like miniature farm scene
