The Three Kings are coming from the East to take part in the Cavalcada de Reyes (Kings' Procession) and give out gifts overnight to well-behaved children for when thy wake up. Although Spanish children generally get small presents on December 25th, Kings' Day on January 6th remains the most important date in the festive season for the serious business of exchanging gifts. Get ready for the big day by going along to the cavalcada when sweets are given to the excited children of all ages who line the streets watching the awe. So wrap up warm, and go and join the crowds as they welcome these very important visitors.
