👑 In Spain, the Feast of the Three Kings (Reyes Magos) is one of the most beloved traditions, celebrated every 6th of January. According to the biblical story, Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar travelled from the East to bring gifts to the baby Jesus: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. On this day, Spanish children receive presents from the Three Kings, who deliver them during the night of January 5th—provided they’ve been well-behaved throughout the year 🎁
In Seville, this celebration reaches spectacular heights with the Cabalgata de Reyes, a vibrant procession that takes place on the afternoon of January 5th (this year, it will be held on Saturday, January 4th, due to potential rain). The parade winds through the city streets with elaborately decorated floats, music, and Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar accompanied by their entourage, throwing sweets and small gifts to the crowd. The magical atmosphere delights both children and adults alike 🍬
The Cabalgata de Reyes in Seville is an unforgettable experience for international visitors—a perfect blend of tradition, fantasy, and the city’s characteristic joy. If you’re in Seville at this time, don’t miss it—it’s a unique glimpse into Spain’s rich cultural heritag 🤩
