The night of January 5 is one of the most magical of the year. The little ones look forward to the arrival of the Three Wise Men and also their gifts that they have included in their letters, as long as they have behaved well throughout the year. However, beyond the typical gifts of this day, another of the traditions of this day is to enjoy the Three Wise Men parades.
In just a few hours, Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar will begin to parade aboard their floats through the streets of towns and cities throughout Spain, and of course also in the Region of Murcia. During their tour, Their Majesties of the East will offer gifts and candy to the children awaiting their arrival throughout the night.
This is all the information about the parades in Murcia, Cartagena, Lorca, Molina and Alcantarilla
