La Pineda beach, in Vila-seca, hosts the traditional Sand Nativity Scene every year between December and January. A spectacular set of sculptures made with sand allow the monumental nativity scene to be erected in the Parc del Pinar de Perruquet.
Several international artists shape the sand to obtain a unique and different sculptural group year after year, achieving a surprising result for visitors that is only revealed as the sculptures rise.
The imposing sculptures occupy a surface area of about 200m2. Almost 300m3 of sand are used to erect them, which means working with 400 tons of sand to recreate these nativity scenes.
The Pessebre de Sorra has been organized since 2000. At the same time, various family activities with a Christmas theme are carried out so that young and old can enjoy this Vila-secana tradition.
