In the afternoon of Monday 5th<\/sup> January, kids all over Spain will be lining the streets of all the main towns and cities to watch the traditional Three Kings Parades<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the highlight of the Christmas festivities and a must-watch for anyone visiting at this magical time of year. Many of our guests like to venture into town and watch the colourful parades so we\u2019ve put together this blog post highlighting some of our favourite processions with timetables and the exact locations of each. All you have to do is choose the most appealing to you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The largest parade and perhaps the most spectacular is the one in Malaga. There won\u2019t be a shortage of sweets as the Three Kings (and their helpers) will have a supply of more than 17 tons of sweet treats (sweets and gluten-free jellies)<\/strong>\u00a0to throw out to the crowds of eager spectators!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Three Kings will arrive at the Alcazaba and walk down the hill towards the Town Hall at approximately 17:00h. Once there, they will be greeted by the Mayor and will wave to the crowds from the main balcony. At 18:00h, the main floats taking part in the parade will set off on their route around the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuengirola\u2019s parade is also unique, mainly due to the method of transport chosen by the wise men\u2026 a helicopter!<\/strong> After greeting the town\u2019s mayor and other authorities, they will jump aboard their respective floats (Twenty-five sweet-laden vehicles) and make their way through Fuengirola and Los Boliches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you choose to see the three kings in Benalm\u00e1dena, you can watch them arrive by boat at the Marina at 10:00 am. The parade takes place a little later in Benalmadena Pueblo and Arroyo de la Miel (see below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
