In all these stages you can also see different buildings that throughout the history have hosted the pilgrims, such as private houses, cathedrals, town halls and all kinds of various facilities such as campsites or rest areas, until at the end of last century Emerged the shelters as we know them today.
Among the religious and monumental buildings are the Cathedral of León, the Cathedral of Burgos, the Castle of Ponferrada, the Plaza del Obradoiro and the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. They have also given life to landscapes like the barren land and plain of the fields of Castile.
As far as Santo Domingo de la Calzada is concerned, the Association has recreated the Albergue HospederÃa Cisterciense of the town, the entrance bridge over the Rio Oja or the statue of the Saint with the rooster and the hen.
This is not the first time that AESclick exhibits in the Cathedral, in previous occasions the visitors could enjoy a classic Bethlehem made with characters of Playmobil and in the past Christmas to Bethlehem were added new scenes as the Annunciation or the Passion of Christ .
AESclick, the Spanish Association of Collectors of Playmobil, was born of the concerns of a group of fans and lovers of the clicks that in their eagerness to divulge this toy, wanted to go a step further and stop being an amateur of foot to endow of A formal aspect to this hobby.
Eleven years have passed since the Association was created, the first official in Spain and worldwide. Among its activities stand out different exhibitions in Zaragoza, Madrid or Barbastro. They have a guinness record with a sample on the evolution of history, from prehistory to the space age, where 68,808 playmobil dolls were used.
Finally, it should be noted that AESclick has a program to spread this toy among the most disadvantaged. So they have installed in the children's plants of hospitals such as Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Burgos Bilbao or Canarias, urns that reflect different scenes or dioramas for the recreation of hospitalized children. A new urn will soon be inaugurated at the Hospital de Albacete.'
Unfortunately the exhibition seems to have finished in October 2016 but the pictures are well worth a look
