Jimena Christmas events programme

Jimena is offering a whole series of events throughout the season. Check our UpComing Events Calendar, see the full programme below or click on this image on the sidebar. It's all there for a different Christmas: from typical seasonal food to flamenco; from villancicos (Spanish carols, which might even include a zambomba) to a Three Kings parade; from live Nativity scenes to the arrastre de latas. (If we say so ourselves, some of the items we've published in the past on this season are quite good. Links above.)>
