The nativity scene is exposed outside and has a controlled circuit of entrances, exits and capacity. The nativity, which is smaller than usual, will be on display until January 6. The nativity scene, measuring 80 square meters, has 235 figures, 1500 kilos of cork, 500 liters of water, 600 kilos of different types of sand and stones. The original Nativity of José Luis Mayo in which the Child Jesus appears in the arms of Saint Joseph, the figures of the Olot school that represent the cavalcade of the Three Kings stand out within the montage; and the new scenes of the Annunciation to Mary, the Visitation to Santa Isabel and the Annunciation to the shepherds by the artisan Monserrat Ribes, which take us both into those times of birth and, inevitably, into the healing hope of the current ones. The Bethlehem of the Royal Post Office received 113,000 visitors in 2019. On this occasion, the motto chosen by the Nativity Scene Association, which this year celebrates its 75th anniversary
