- Story Text: A 30 meter tall Santa Clause will try to make its way into the Guinness Book of records this Christmas as it raises food for the poor and lures shoppers inside the mall where it stands in Batalha, a city north of Lisbon.
Dozens of ropes will hold this 200 square meter Gulliver look-a-like giant down for the inhabitants of this small city to see also visible for commuters on the road from Lisbon to Oporto, Portugal's two largest cities.
This is the second attempt, in two months, for Portugal to make its way into the Guiness Book of records.
Last month Oporto hosted the worlds largest chocolate made crib.
According to the organisers 12 tonnes of chocolate were used in making the crib. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
