2026-12-07 Arrecife Belén Nativity

Arrecife’s beloved Belén Nativity model has settled into a new home this year, moving from its traditional seafront marquee to the ground floor of the El Mercadillo Shopping Center on C/ León y Castillo — a spacious, historic building right in the heart of the city’s main shopping street. The change of venue gives the display a fresh atmosphere: sheltered, central, and surrounded by the gentle bustle of everyday life. Inside the old market hall, the Nativity scene feels both grand and intimate, its miniature landscapes and Lanzarote‑inspired details glowing warmly beneath the high ceilings. The new setting adds a touch of heritage to a much‑loved Christmas tradition, making the Belén feel even more rooted in the cultural rhythm of Arrecife.
