SUMMARY:El Pessebre: Living Nativity in Bascara
DESCRIPTION:December 2025 \nEl Pessebre de Bàscara (near Figueres) \nEl Pessebre de Bàscara” tries to recapture the idea and atmosphere of the nativity scenes that the Catalans used to traditionally create in their homes. \n \nThey became popular after the French Revolution of 1789 when churches were closed and Nativity scenes were banned. People started to  “bring religion home” by setting up crèches in their own homes\, a tradition previously reserved for the rich. \nThe nativity of Bascara replicate the scenes that were once made with clay figures\, but with real life people  animals and materials. \n \nDescribed as a ‘living revival of the birth of Jesus within a large space with springs and caves\, steep rocky cliffs\, unusual vegetation and watered by the waters of the river Fluvià’\, fragments of the daily life of Palestine from 2000 years ago are represented throughout the village. \nIn the medieval style streets and buildings\,  300 people from the town of Bàscara and its outlying areas represent the nativity. \n \nEven for the non religious these live ‘pessebres’ are a fascinating cultural event that both believers and non believers will enjoy. \n \nThis live nativity scene in Bàscara takes place in the town’s old quarter and also on the right bank of the Fluvià river. The series of living tableaux depicting the birth of Christ and the Christmas story is well worth the short journey to Bascara\, a pretty and interesting town on the N11 just south of Figueres. \n2025 – 2026\nThe dates for this years’ events are  21st   25th\, 26th  27th 28th December and January 1st\, 3rd and 4th\, starting at 7pm.\nTickets can be bought on site. \n🎟 Adults: €8 \n👶 Children (6–12 years): €4 \n👶 Children under 4 years: Free \nThese prices apply to the 2025–26 performances\, which run from about 21 December to 4 January\, with shows typically at 19:00 on selected dates. \nShare this:\n				Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n\n	Related\n
