On the evening of 5 January, Madrid comes alive with the vibrant Three Kings parade, one of Spain's most cherished traditions.

Crowds gather to watch as the Three Kings — Caspar, Balthazar, and Melchior — make their way through the streets, accompanied by giant puppets and glowing figures.

Despite earlier rain, families braved the weather, eager to catch the candy tossed from the royal chariots. Children eagerly await gifts, as the night recreates the biblical journey of the Three Kings to deliver presents to baby Jesus.

This festive tradition, also celebrated in Latin America, remains a highlight of the holiday season in Spain.
