The arrival of the Three Wise Men is, without a doubt, one of the most awaited moments for the little ones throughout the year -if not the most-. And that moment, in which you can almost breathe the illusion and the nerves of the children, arrives every year on January 5 with the appearance, in all the houses, of their Majesties the Three Wise Men of the East.
In Barcelona, the Three Wise Men will arrive on the 5th at 5:00 pm at the Moll de la Fusta on board the pailebot Santa Eulàlia. They will be punctual and all citizens should be there, waiting to receive them as they deserve. And it is upon their arrival that the traditional Cavalcada de Reis (Three Kings Cavalcade) will begin.
If there are children at home, this is a family date you can’t miss. And if not, neither. Therefore we show below the route and schedules planned for the next Three Kings Parade 2014:
