Spain's traditional Three Kings parade held in Madrid as part of Epiphany festivities

The night of 5 January is the most important and magical night of the year for thousands of children in Spain. It is when the Three Wise Men, Caspar, Balthazar and Melchior, also known as the Three Kings, bring them presents. Parades, known in Spanish as "Cabalgata", are organised across the country to welcome them. The parade, which arrived under the slogan ‘The Night of Wishes Fulfilled’, set off at 18:00 local time. After a morning with cloudy skies and a good downpour in the early afternoon, the parade of their Majesties from the East began without rain but with the thousands of attendees well protected with mackintoshes and umbrellas. The parade is an essential part of Spain's Christmas traditions and one of the most magical nights of the year for both children and parents.
