ENJOY A 20% DISCOUNT for Canary Islands Day
Imagine swapping the Christmas tree for palm trees and the snow for golden sand. In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Christmas has a different texture. The icon of the festive season is Las Canteras Sand Nativity Scene (Belén de Arena), a work of ephemeral art that draws visitors from around the globe.
This year is not just any Christmas. The Sand Nativity celebrates its 20th anniversary, established as one of Spain’s most important cultural and tourist milestones. Its significance is such that this year, its image is featured on millions of Spanish National Lottery tickets.
Earthmovers have already begun work in front of Saulo Torón square (La Puntilla area) to shape 1,500 m³ of sand over a 1,500 m² area.
-Opening Date: It is scheduled to open to the public on December 15th.
-Cultural Tribute: This year’s sculptures, some exceeding 5 meters in height, will pay a special tribute to the island of Gran Canaria and its most renowned artist: Néstor Martín-Fernández de la Torre.
You will witness Christmas scenes fused with iconic elements of the island's landscape and Néstor’s unique symbolism.It is an open-air museum, under the sun, with the sound of the Atlantic in the background.
A must-see, charitable, and magical visit. However, being so popular (with nearly 260,000 visitors last year), finding parking nearby can be mission impossible.
This is where your experience changes radically with Singular Holidays.
