Madrid's streets were filled with excitement as the Three Kings Parade returned, drawing thousands of spectators. The event marked the end of the Christmas season, with families and children celebrating the magic of the night.
Madrid's streets were filled with excitement and colour on Sunday as the city's much-anticipated Three Kings Parade made its grand return, with thousands of spectators, including eager children, lining the route to catch a glimpse of Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthazar. "Three Kings' Night is a very special night, very beautiful, because we can all share it together and have many wishes and make many wishes," said Guillermo Tremus, 46, who was there with his two young daughters.
The event, which marks the conclusion of the Christmas season on the eve of the Epiphany, commemorates the visit of the three wise men to the infant Christ. María López Pedraza, 56, who has been attending the parade for years, shared, "I am here to watch the parade with my nephews and my children, and I have been coming to Madrid to see it for many years now."
As the Kings made their way along the three-kilometer route, children were delighted by the tossing of sweets from the floats, adding to the enchantment of the evening. When asked about their wishes, nine-year-old Gonzalo Iglesias said, “At first, many things: a Nintendo game and some books,” while his friends Diego Domínguez and Adrián Marco also shared their hopes, with Diego asking for “games for the Nintendo, a good-quality bike, and a racket,” and Adrián hoping for “Legos and board games.”
The parade not only brought the festive spirit to life but united families in a joyful celebration of the Three Kings' magic.
