And with such a perfect location right outside the town hall in Plaza Nueva, there’s really no reason not <\/em>to check out this fabulous market! <\/p>\n\n\n\n With nearly 80 stalls selling traditional Andalusian handcrafted goods (think ceramics, jewelry, wooden toys and more), you’ll be supporting local artisans as you partake in a cherished Christmas tradition. What could be better than that? Get ready to buy the perfect sevillano <\/a><\/em>gifts<\/a> for everyone on your list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2019\u20132020 dates: <\/strong>December 17\u2013January 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n No matter where you go in Spain at Christmastime, there’s one tradition you’ll see just about everywhere: the bel\u00e9n<\/em>, or nativity scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, these aren’t just your typical setups featuring the Holy Family and a handful of farm animals. Spanish nativity scenes go all out, often depicting the entire town of Bethlehem (“bel\u00e9n” <\/em>means “Bethlehem” in Spanish). <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the best and most cherished Christmas markets in Seville is the annual Feria del Bel\u00e9n<\/a>, an entire market dedicated to ornate, handcrafted decorations with a special emphasis on bel\u00e9n <\/em>figurines. From mid-November until just before Christmas, this lively cultural market takes over Avenida de la Constituci\u00f3n, with dozens of stalls selling these one-of-a-kind items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2019 dates<\/strong>: November 12\u2013December 23<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe winter holidays will be here before we know it, and we all know what that means: Christmas markets!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
