A Christmas greetings tree

PUPILS at primary schools in Altea and Altea la Vieja made a Christmas tree for each town.

Instead of pine needles and branches, the trees were created from Christmas cards that the children had made themselves at school.

In Altea la Vieja a four-metre high tree was put up in the Centro Cultural while Altea’s six-metre tree was set up in Plaza de la Paz.

“It was very rewarding to see how so many children took part and watch as the tree took shape thanks to the towns’ state schools,” said Education councillor Vicenta Perez as she thanked the Altea la Vieja, La Olla, Blanquinal, Les Rotes and Garganes schools for their hard work.
