It will be today, starting at noon, when Santa Claus will travel, aboard his sleigh, through the streets of the city center in a great parade that will start in Carmen and will culminate behind the Romea Theater. This year the parade will be made up of more than thirty elements, including a tribute to Disney, on his centenary, children's ballets, doll and reindeer troupes, and children's-themed floats. However, many little ones did not want to wait any longer yesterday to meet the endearing character – played that year by actor Julio Navarro – and religiously stood in line, along with his parents, to visit him at his house on Basabé Street. There, they were able to sit on his knees and make their requests for gifts with an eye toward today's magical night.
