But have you ever seen them i wise men? While in Italy they are now relegated to nativity figurines, in Catalunya and in Spain in general, this all-Christian tradition has remained much more alive than the pagan Santa Claus.
In fact, in Barellona they are beloved figures and every year we see them arrive in the far east loaded with gifts, lights, sweets and candies. "The Cavalcada de Reis"Thus becomes the most awaited parade by children (and adults ... I have witnessed it for more than 8 years) in Barcelona, and takes place every year on ! symbolizing the visit of the Magi to the Child Jesus.
Hundreds of participants themed clothes parade through the streets of the city giving away candies to the onlookers, all seasoned with floats and scenographic elements to rival the most heartfelt carnival parades. In Barcelona it is an event that blocks the whole city and consists precisely in a parade where the three kings will be represented by three giant puppets who will move with their carriages through different points of the city.
This year has not yet been released route of the cavalgada, but keep in mind that it is a party so popular that the municipality creates a special page and activates a sms service in order to be informed of the exact point of the city where the Reies are located! So you can reach them at the point of the city that you like best.
