Andalucia Diary – Seasonal Travel Notes

The arrival of the Magi in Malaga – Three Kings – the most magical night of the year

Here in Spain this is one of the most magical nights of the year for youngsters. With the arrival of the Magi, the 'Los Tres Reyes', come presents! ( forget gold, frankincense and myrrh…. more Wii & iPod!)

Three Kings Parade

'Cabalgatas' or parades are happening across the country tonight, marking the arrival of the Kings.

Everyone buys a Roscon cake to enjoy (hidden inside is a hard bean for the loser and a little King for the winner who gets to wear the Roscon crown) and tomorrow is a holiday and presents for everyone!!

Just because we¡re not kids doesn't mean we can't enjoy lots of cake – we enjoyed some tapas and then went to the new bakery in town.
