take more water with it!!

This is part of a large Nativity scene. Our local town Torreveija, puts up a large Belen (Nativity) every year, the Mayor open it on December 6th and it stays up until January 6th. Its location is the town square opposite the main Church. As far as I am aware it is never vandalised, which is quite something. Every year the Belen has some new features, quite a few of the models actually move, the chickens peck, and the scene with the guy treading the grapes he actually moves up and down and smoke comes from the chimneys. The huge salt mounds are an integral part of Torreveija, salt is still mined, we have huges salt flats and when the salt is ready for collection the water turns purple, the tractors then move onto the salt flats and dig up the salt. The salt is road salt and is usually exported to Scandanavia
