A retired lady who lives in a relatively small apartment in Barcelona has for the past 6 years decorated it in such a way that hundreds of children visit it and her to look at such things as the Nativity scene , with figures over a metre high .
The animals which one associates with the scene are there too .
The room is draped in blue to represent the sky .
Then there is a gallery of every type of Santa that one can imagine . It is a fantasy land .
This is one reason why this lady goes to all of this trouble , to enable young children to enjoy the fantasy of Christmas .
This lady believes that for children to believe the ” Magic ” of this or any other time of the year is special and will help them when they become adults .
Many of the items on display were purchased in Mexico where one of her children now lives .

The Palacio de Ferias y Congresos was the venue for the fifth MIMA childrens’s fair in Malaga .
The mayor of malaga opened the fair last week and it will run until January 4 .
There are so many activities and other attractions to keep children amused and occupied for many an hour .
There is a basketball court , an ice rink , many fairground attractions such as bumper cars and a bouncy castle , mini golf course and a huge scalectrix set .
One of the first children interviewed after the doors opened was full of enthusiasm , especially as he could have a go at everything if he so chose .
Admission is only 5 euros and many a parent and grandparent joins in the fun too .
