I remeber on a trip to Bavaria seeing hand carved figures for the nativity in varying sizes, but I was doing some shopping and came across this Nativity scene which apparently is quite the tradition here.

Every Christmas in Benidorm the artists come out to the beach and make sand sculptures of the Christmas Nativity. As we arrived after Christmas we missed the main event that usually fills the whole beach but we did get to see one.

My spanish isn't great but here are some common words and phrases which are fairly easy and i found useful.....
Hola (pronounced 'ola') - Hello
Adios ('adios') - Goodbye
Gracias ('grathias') - Thankyou
Por Favor ('pour Fav or') - Please
Si ('Si') - Yes
No ('no') - No
If approached by beggers, 'lookie lookie' men (selling jewelery etc) or rose sellers etc these were my common responses which seemed to do the trick...
No dinero ('no den ear ro') - no money
No tengo dinero ('no ten-go den-ear-ro) - have no money
No quero ('no key-air-ro') - don't want!
No Gracias ('no grathias') - no thanks
If you get lost.............
Donde estas...name of hotel/bar etc ('don-day estas...') - where is.....?
No ablo espanol ('no ablo es-pan-yol') - Don't speak spanish
Ablo inglais? ('ablo in-glais-e') - Speak english?
I apologise for any bad grammar and spelling but you get the idea!

What did surprise me about this Nativity and the fsct that this is quite normal in the Spanish tradition was the detail that went into the carving.

This is a real Spanish classic. Churros are fried strips of dough. They are served hot with powdered sugar. The best way to eat is to dip them in chocolate. So ask for Churros con chocolate.
