| Pictures Three Kings procession Barcelona |
Pictures Barcelona Three Kings cavalcade parade Barcelona Map and schedule 2016 Cavalcada de Reis Mags Barcelona ¡Felices Reyes! The Three Kings’ cavalcade procession on 5th January is the biggest Christmas procession in Spain and Barcelona. In Spanish it is called "La Cabalgata de Reyes Magos” and in Catalan "la Cavalcada de Reis Mags d'Orient." These famous and beloved Three Kings of the Orient are called Balthasar, Gaspar and Melchior - in Catalan they are called Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar . The saying goes that that after the Kings gave gifts to the infant Jesus, they handed out gifts to children during their return journey. So in Spain children write to the Three Kings, who bring them presents on 6th January which is Epiphany day. The Kings' Day Parade is the biggest parade of the year and the day after is a public holiday in Spain and is the biggest gift giving day of the year in Barcelona and Spain.
