Words, Pictures and Video by Spanish Member: Luis Crespo

The “Three Kings (Day) Parade” is celebrated on the evening of January 5th in all big and small cities – even in suburbs – in Spain. All children are very excited about greeting the ‘Three Wise Men’ and expecting wonderful gifts when they wake up the next day.

El Pardo is a special little village very close to Madrid. This area is where Spanish King Felipe VI has his residence (Palacio de la Zarzuela). The small city El Pardo was built around a hunting palace built in 1405 by the King Enrique III. It is currently the official residence of the Heads of State, which visit Spain.

El Pardo has around 3500 inhabitants and celebrates also the Three Kings Parade that was led by a Figaro this year. Hundreds of children were waiting for the Kings at the town square.
