The Cavalcade: A Parade of Emotions
Three Kings Day in Cadiz begins with one of the most awaited traditions: the Cavalcade.

Floats decorated with sparkling lights, fantastic characters and, of course, the three Wise Men, Melchior, Gaspar and Balthazar, greet the excited crowds that throng along the route.
The children, their eyes full of wonder, anxiously await the arrival of the Three Kings, who throw candy and small gifts as they pass by. Music fills the air, creating an atmosphere of joy that mixes with the fresh sea breeze characteristic of Cadiz.

The carefully wrapped gifts are exchanged among friends and family while laughter and good wishes are shared. The magic of Three Kings Day lies in the generosity and affection that permeates every gesture, creating indelible memories.
