The Alicante Nativity Scene Museum

Alicante
A special place for your christmas visit to the Costa Blanca
The nativity scene museum or like I call it the "Alicante christmas museum", is certainly part of a less known side of Alicante. For most travelers and tourists, this little museum might be overlooked or simply will not fit into the typical summer Costa Blanca holiday schedule.

Just the little sign "Museo de Belenes" (Nativity Scene Museum) let's you find the way in. On the inside you will see an amazing display of hundreds and hundreds of figures and nativity scenes. I was just impressed by the enormous amount of nativity scenes from all over the world in a little museum in Alicante. REALLY IMPRESSIVE! So please, if you ever have a chance to visit Alicante (especially during christmas time), visit this wonderful museum.

The museum is organized by the Association of Nativity Scene Makers of Alicante, a club founded in 1959. Every year around the first week of December, they open up a special Exposition. Alicante and Nativity Scene Making has a very long tradition, founded by numerous artists over the centuries. Alicante even hosts a nativity scene monument at the Plaza de la Montaneta.
