While it's still 2013 I thought I would share some of the Nativity scenes we saw. These were built on the road side or in the centre of town. Some we found more amusing than others - mostly due to the size of the baby or more particularly the size of the sheep in relation to the camels!
In the main square in Funchal
By the harbour in Funchal
Jardin do Mar
On the seafront at Porto Moniz
These were in Seixal.
In the church at Sao Vincente
On a street corner in Sao Vincente
And the last one in Machico - which didn't photograph too well.
Thanks for stopping by.
These are gorgeous? Thanks for sharing! -- Judy Huntsville al
