2025-12-11 Yaiza Nativity scene

Yaiza’s natural nativity scene is anything but modest — it’s a sprawling, open‑air Christmas landscape that transforms the village square into a miniature world of its own. Built with volcanic stone, sand, water features, and lovingly crafted figures, the Belén stretches across a large outdoor space, inviting visitors to wander slowly around its detailed scenes. Traditional Canarian houses, shepherds, fishermen, and biblical tableaux blend seamlessly with Lanzarote’s rugged terrain, creating a display that feels both grand in scale and deeply rooted in local identity. With the mountains rising behind it and the soft winter light settling over the village, Yaiza’s Belén becomes a festive landmark — a place where craftsmanship, storytelling, and island heritage come together in a spectacular seasonal tradition.
