Christmas in Tossa

On Sunday afternoon (the day after Christmas) we went with the Js up to Tossa de Mar to see the live nativity presentation. It was a very fun event. You enter the old walled city with a young guide in period dress and walk from a marketplace, through the ancient streets, past the Roman guards and shepherds fields, finally arriving at the stable. Most of the structures date from the 12th and 13th century.

Kind of like the Glen . . . just like home, only more so. And with buildings from the 13th century.
