LA CABALGATA DE LOS REYES MAGOS

In Spain and Latin America children are traditionally given their Christmas presents on 6 January, the feast of Reyes (the Epiphany). The Reyes Magos (the Three Kings) are said to deliver the presents on the previous evening. In Spain, to celebrate their arrival on the evening of 5 January, there is a procession of floats through the centre of towns and cities. At the centre of the procession are three floats, each carrying an actor dressed as one of the Three Kings “Melchor”, “Gaspar” and “Baltasar”.
