The Three Wise Men Parade has spread joy for another year in Arrecife. This year's route was shorter, due to the works being carried out on the Avenida Marítima in the island's capital, and it started at 6:30 p.m. in the Parque Islas Canarias, instead of at the beginning of the avenue as in other years.

During that journey to the fairgrounds, the Royal Entourage distributed more than 4,000 kilos of candies, which young and old rushed to collect while enjoying the arrival of Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar.

Their Majesties were accompanied during the tour by 8 floats and 15 camels, which advanced along the avenue to the rhythm of the music. There was also no shortage of royal postmen, to whom those who had not yet had time could deliver their letters.

Once in the fairgrounds, the little ones were even able to take pictures with Their Majesties and make their requests personally, since a stage had been set up there where the Three Wise Men received the children. The parade concluded with a pyrotechnic show.
