Belén del Ayuntamiento
Every year, a number of places in the city put their "belén, " or representation of Bethlehem, on display. These are very elaborate depictions in that they contain the entire city as opposed to just the Nativity, which is the focus of U.S. tradition. Essentially, there are little figurines for every aspect of the town, down to the little oranges and ham that you can buy to adorn a dinner table. There are so many things that you can add to your "belén," and most people opt to do so by buying something new each year. That way, their "belén" is never the same from one year to the next.
