Christmas and New Year activities

Just in case anyone is not aware, I thought the following activities organised by the Ayuntamiento and others to celebrate the Christmas period in Olvera might be of interest, particularly to all here with little ones...and perhaps also to some of us not so little ones !.

Apologies if a little has been lost in translation, using Google Translator is not always word perfect, but essentially it is correct. Certainly the dates, times and locations are.

However, the original text can be found on the excellent Olvera Town website here if anything is unclear. Merry Christmas.
