They say it is the most magical night of the year, and these three characters are undoubtedly the "guilty parties". Every January 5th, Their Majesties the Three Wise Men are received with enthusiasm by young and old alike, a few hours before visiting our homes to distribute gifts to everyone who has been good during the year.
On the afternoon of January 5, the Three Wise Men, accompanied by their impressive entourage, will arrive by the sea to Barcelona on the Pailebot Santa Eulàlia. Once finished the Welcome Ceremony, they will parade around the city, giving sweets to the children as a prelude to this unique night.
The Three King's floats, sustainable and magnificently decorated, reflect all of the excitement and magic of this special tradition. -

Christmas in Barcelona you can't imagine all the surprises there are in store
Christmas is the time of year when families get together again, a time for Christmas fairs, lights, presents and good wishes. In Barcelona, we also celebrate traditions in a different and unique way. We put together Nativity scenes, we beat a log with a smiley face, known as the tió, until gifts pop out from under him, we are visited by the home dels Nassos, or man with the noses, who has as many noses as there are days of the year, and we eat a type of nougat called turrón and tubular wafers, known as neules,...
