Guided tour of the Nativity scenes of Madrid at Christmas 2 hours

The Christmas spirit takes over us earlier and earlier and in a thousand different ways; but without a doubt, if there is a characteristic element of the most traditional Christmas , it is the Bethlehem. We did not want to escape this emblematic way of beginning the winter season most anticipated by so many and we have created a guided route through the most special Nativity scenes in the city of Madrid . A guided tour of about 2 hours in the company of our historian and guide who will take you to know the authentic Madrid Christmas in a very special way.

During this guided route through the Nativity scenes of the capital, we will make as many stops as possible to fit within the stipulated time, although it will always depend on the queue to access them , since regardless, you have to wait for access.

Our expert will tell you in detail the history of this element that is so essential in any home in our country, a tradition that Saint Francis of Assisi began when he performed the first representation of the birth of Jesus, in Greccio, and Saint Clare later spread it throughout the convents of Italy. Although its representation in homes dates back much later, in the reign of Charles III (exporting the customs of Naples), previously, between the 13th and 14th centuries, it could only be seen in churches, monasteries and convents.

But this will only be part of what our guide and historian will tell you about the Nativity scenes that we visit. A perfect Christmas plan for all members of the family and continue the day however you want, but always soaking up the Christmas halo that Madrid addresses during this time of year.
