Information on Nerja at Christmas and Nerja fiesta's

Hello. I am going to mention about Feliz Navidad In Spain.
The holiday season is full of the usual festivities, but one tradition, not at all common elsewhere. Named "Hogueras" (bonfires), this tradition originated long before Navidad itself. It is the observance of the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year and the beginning of winter. It is characterized by people jumping over fires as a symbolic protection against illness. This fire-jumping can be seen primarily in Granada and Jaen.
The more common traditions include incredibly elaborate "Nacimiento" (nativity scenes), Christmas trees, and remarkable Navidad markets scattered among villages and cities with piles of fruits, flowers, marzipan and other sweets, candles, decorations and hand-made gifts. Often, as the Christmas Eve stars appear in the heavens, tiny oil lamps are lighted, warming village windows. The crowds at the Christmas market thin as shoppers return to prepare for the coming meal. The Christmas Eve gaiety is interrupted at midnight be the ringing of bells calling the families to "La Misa Del Gallo" (The Mass of the Rooster). The most beautiful of these candlelight services is held at the monastery of Montserrat, high in the mountain near Barcelona, which is highlighted by a boy's choir describes as performing the Mass in "one pure voice."

Navidad in Spain is far less commercial than in the UK. The streets will hang out lights but only the larger stores will go to any great effort to decorate their windows with festive trees and reindeer. Families do not put out lights outside their homes as they do in the UK, the whole thing is far less “twinkly.” If you hate the commercial side of Christmas in the UK then spending Navidad in Spain is a exceptional choice.
