Las Protegidas Living Nativity to Take Place on December 28 in Nerja
Christmas in Nerja once again brings one of its most anticipated events with the traditional Las Protegidas Living Nativity, a celebration that fills the town centre with atmosphere, tradition and local life every year.
Due to the forecast of adverse weather conditions for the coming days, the organisers have decided to postpone the event in order to ensure it can take place safely and under the best possible conditions for both participants and visitors.

The Living Nativity will now take place on Sunday, December 28, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, keeping its usual location in Plaza de Andalucía, one of the most vibrant and lively areas of the town centre.
The event will maintain its original format, with traditional nativity scenes recreated by the residents of the Las Protegidas neighbourhood, who play a central role in bringing this tradition to life.
