I'm from Barcelona, Spain, and we are planining a pilgrimage to Holy Land next year with a gruop of friends. For me is not the first time, I have been already there, but always it's fantastic to comeback. I read in your note, that is very nice to see Bethelem from the top of the university, exactly , from the restaurant of the university, Is it possible to take dinner there?.
There are students studing Spanish language?
I'm sorry for my bad English, and thank you very much,

Can I use public transportation from the Church of the Nativity to Rachel's tomb? If not, how do I get there?
Thanks for your help!

I will be spending Christmas in Bethlehem this Christmas and was wondering if anyone had advice on going to a service and/or finding a hostel/ hotel. Would it be easier to stay in Jerusalem.. if so, what time does the border crossing close? Thanks!

About how far is Manger Square from the checkpoint when coming from Jerusalem? Is it in walk able distance and is it advisable to walk?

I want to find an inexpensive, clean and comfortable hotel in central Bethlehem, only my emails to those advertised on the Internet don't seem to get anywhere. Can anyone help? I'm also looking for a reliable guide/translator for about a week. Aain, any guidance would be appreciated.
