The Feast of the Epiphany, a Christian holiday, celebrates the Three Kings who followed a bright star to offer gifts of gold, frankincense (resin used in perfumes) and myrrh (tree gum) to the newborn Christ child in Bethlehem.
Families gathered on 6 January to celebrate in Madrid, where heavy vehicles had been banned from entering the city centre. Police were on heightened alert for the parades.
The procession featured decorative floats and people dressed as the kings bearing gifts for the baby Jesus.
Christmas gifts are traditionally given on the day of the Feast of the Epiphany in Spain and in many Latin American countries.
Fireworks and flames took over central Valencia on Tuesday (March 19) as locals and thousands of tourists celebrated the end of a four-day festival with the burning of over 380 ornate and colourful monuments made up of giant figures known as ninots, in the "Crema de Fallas" (burning of the fallas).
