Parade of the Three Wise Men
Seville's Epiphany Parade of the Three Wise Men takes place at sunset, when the trio arrive in a golden carriage and make their way through the streets, throwing sweets and toys to thousands of wide-eyed children.
The night of the 5 January is awaited with more anticipation by Spanish children than Christmas Eve, for the Reyes Magos, or Three Wise Men, are the Latin equivalent of Father Christmas. During the evening, more than 30 floats parade through the city, distributing 90 metric tonnes of candy. It is also traditional for children to leave their shoes on their windowsills and fill them with straw for the horses of the visiting trio, who deliver presents to the children on the morning of the 6 January.
