La Pineda. Costa Dorada. During December, the Municipal Tourism Vilaseca carried out the traditional nativity scene, sandy beach of La Pineda which will be open until next January 9, 2012.

To build the monumental sculpture, from Saturday until 3 and on 10 December, several artists from all over Europe, are already in La Pineda in order to form the stable through which 'achieved visitors at a time of year not much is normal for the Pineda in December, "he said as the Councillor for Tourism, Xavier Graset. They are now carrying out the process of preparation and compaction of the sand, that sand is to introduce some wooden formwork and compacted it, and then to sculpt figures.

The spectacular sand sculpture, which is a surprise every year to decide their own sculptors and is revealed only after beginning to take shape, has approximately 600 tons of sand to be reused year after year.
Coordinated by Nuria Vallverdú, director of the project, other sculptors involved in the construction of the crib of sand are Niall Magee (Ireland), Ludo Roder (Netherlands), Martijn Rijersde (Netherlands), Anique Kuizenga (Netherlands) Bruno MacDonald (Denmark), Daniel Doyle (Ireland), and Mario Hernandez (Catalonia).

One of the sculptors, the Irish Daniel Doyle explained that going to Pineda and build the crib at Christmas is like back home ', as he has so far been the only sculptor who has participated every year building the crib on the beach in La Pineda. He also stressed his gratitude to Pineda because "although the world situation we live, the town remains committed to this project.

This year as a novelty, Nuria Velasco said that 'we wanted to perpetuate the story of the manger with a book on the history of the twelve editions of the Nativity in La Pineda. With a circulation of 700 copies, the project promoted by Nuria Vallverdú and Mario Hernandez has an extensive collection of photos and explanation of how to build it. This book, which has received the collaboration of the Tourism Department of Vila-seca, the City Council of Vila-seca, Welfare 'La Caixa', the Hotel Estival Park and the group The Ox and Mule, will be available in bookshops in Barcelona, ​​Tarragona, Vilaseca and a stop that will be set in front of the manger of sand.
