Let’s go to see Christmas pastorelas in the Historic Center! During December there will be several performances in places like the Alameda Central and Plaza de Santo Domingo. Write down all the details so you don’t miss them. There will only be one performance per day.
During the Christmas season there are usually pastorelas everywhere. It is a staging that tells the story of the shepherds’ journey to Bethlehem. Of course, each pastorela is usually different.
The show that will be presented is called “Alas vs Cuernos” (Wings vs Horns), a fun pastorela that can be attended by both children and adults. The performances will begin on December 6 and will conclude on Sunday, December 14. Check the complete program.
