Christmas markets - typical this time of year
There is not long to go until Christmas, and many of our cities are already buzzing with festive spirit. Some of you will have no doubt already set up a nativity scene at home. Others will have taken advantage of last weekend's public holiday to set up a space at home for it. We have taken a tour around the market.

This is the Christmas market organised by the Archivo de Indias in Seville. Hundreds of people have flocked here seeking nativity figures. If you ask the children, their favourite characters are the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, the Baby Jesus, and of course the Three Wise Men.
This year, some of the figures move, and some have come from far but, how much do they cost? Although there are also cheaper versions available, we can find figures costing between 50 and 60 euros, and some even cost more than 1,000 euros. And for those who are tight for space at home, there is even a pumpkin that has a nativity scene inside, which doubles up as a decoration the rest of the year.
