Christmas in El Ejido
Christmas in El Ejido
Ribera D'Ebre students' mediation tasks
Task 1
Hi colleagues,
Thank you very much for your infographics. We’re glad to know what you do at Christmas time.
El Ejido welcomes Christmas with the magnificent Nativity scene in the city hall with 500 statues.
The most stunning activities for us are the outdoor events like the theater, the gospel and, specially, the zambomba flamenca, which is a traditional carol in a flamenco style. Moreover, on the first day of January the New Year’s concert is celebrated, like here.
There are also activities for children like Santa’s float, where the little ones can give the letters to Santa. Another one is the Three Wise Men’s parade, which arrives by boat in Almerimar and it ends in the main square where there is a live Nativity scene.
Finally, if you like sports, you can participate in the oldest San Silvestre race in the province.
Well, it’s time to say goodbye.
Take care,
B1 Presencial
Task 2
Hi, Beatriz and colleagues,
We’re excited about Christmas in El Ejido!
If you visit this city on winter holidays, you’d love to see the Nativity scene in the city hall, which measures 120m2 and has got 500 statues.
You can do other cultural activities because the city has plenty of them, for example, you can choose between outdoor theatre or a gospel concert. However, the most surprising activity is “zambomba flamenca” because we never heard about it before. It’s a traditional show with Christmas carols in flamenco music.
The most attractive activities for children are Santa’s float in different areas of the city, where they can give the letters to Santa, and the Three Wise Men’s parade. They arrive sailing in Almerimar, and they go to El Ejido, finishing the parade in a live Nativity scene.
Moreover, I know you’re a sportswoman, so don’t forget to race the popular San Silvestre competition.
Well, it’s time to say goodbye.
Best wishes,
B1 Semipresencial
