Fire in Estepona Nativity Scene

Estepona's nativity scene (Belen), which was situated in the 'bandstand' in the town's Plaza Antonio Guerrero, was destroyed by a fire believed to be the work of vandals, around midnight last Sunday.
The town's Councillor for Fiestas, Silvia Cabrera, expressed 'sorrow and outrage at this act of vandalism on this integral part of the traditional Christmas celebrations', and announced the initiation of an investigation to catch those responsible.
The Mayor, David Valadez, went on to say that the fire not only destroyed the nativity scene, but has also damaged the structure of the dome, which was only just renovated early last year.
The area has been cordoned off whilst damage to the dome is assessed and remedial works carried out to ensure its stability and work begun to restore this important local landmark.
