Every year the people of Santa Cristina, in the heart of the Gardena Valley, eagerly wait for the local Christmas market to take place; the market never fails to draw thousands of curious visitors who love to spend the day browsing arts and crafts booths which display wooden/glass Christmas decorations, wooden sculptures depicting exquisite little cherubs made by local artists and beauitfully crafted Christmas candles.
At the market, visitors will also be able to buy delicious cinnamon cakes and pepper bread and on San Nicolo’s Day (December 5), Santa himself on his sleigh will ride through the village distributing delicious sweets and tons of nuts to the children! At Santa Cristina, Christmas always arrives early!
