Elche is a city about 45 minutes away from Alicante by train. Each year they have a live nativity scene. We decided to take the train to Elche and check out the Nativity scene.

We could see the beautiful walkways that led along the road towards the Nativity scene.

When we arrived at the Nativity scene it was unique and interesting to see. The setting was in the old quarter of Elche and the backdrop was a 16th-century church.

We strolled through the Nativity scene looking at the different structures. They had a Sheppard guarding his flock in one area.

Other areas we walked through had different structures.

There was a market area where you could buy some food and beverages.

We walked through the Nativity scene admiring it and came to the final section. We saw donkeys in a stable beside a manger.

Then we came to the manger and we saw baby Jesus with Joseph and Mary.

The recreation of the Nativity scene in real life was impressive and interesting. It was well worth the train ride to Elche.
