Discover all the Christmas Nativity scenes in Lanzarote:

Yaiza

Ah, the masterpiece of the island’s Nativity scenes is the Belén de Yaiza, with its miniature replica of Lanzarote. You’d think even the ants had pitched in to build this little marvel! The council team, armed with patience and a few cups of coffee, spends about six weeks every year turning Plaza de los Remedios into a miniature spectacle.

La Geria

Stratvs Winery’s strategy is simply genius. They use their location in the middle of La Geria, looking out over the Montañas del Fuego, to create a charming, elegant Nativity scene. Wine and panoramic views with a Christmas twist – the perfect combo.

Arrecife

Next, it’s off to Arrecife, Lanzarote’s capital, where no fewer than 500 figures have been set out for the traditional Nativity scene. The council’s festivities team has outdone itself, creating scenes that almost deserve an Oscar for the most gigantic Nativity scene.

In Haría,

Plaza de la Constitución is the stage for a Nativity scene that could rival any work of art. Right next to León y Castillo, you can enjoy the Christmas magic while browsing the Saturday morning craft market (more info here). That’s what I call a well-spent day.

Tinajo

Plaza de San Roque in Tinajo becomes the ultimate playground for the Christmas Nativity scene – and they even add a special touch with a live Nativity every 25 December at 7pm. It’s as if the square itself becomes an open-air theatre, ready to host the most epic Christmas show of all time!

Puerto del Carmen

offers a Belén with a seaside twist at La Tiñosa, next to the Ermita de Puerto del Carmen. It’s as if the fish themselves were part of the scene, ready to strike up some underwater carols.

In Tías,

they’ve created living postcards of the municipality with two Nativity scenes well worth a mention. Luis Acuña and Lázaro Martín are the unsung heroes of Christmas decorating in Tías, turning Plaza San Antonio and the church of La Candelaria into real attractions.
