Cavalcade in A Coruña

This year's parade of the Three Wise Men in A Coruña will be a little different from the previous ones. On this occasion, it will begin its route at 18:00 hours, in the neighborhood of Las Flores, followed by Monelos Avenue until it reaches Alcalde Péreza Arda. It will then follow Cuatro Caminos, La Palloza, Linares Rivas, Cantones and, finally, Plaza de María Pita.

Cavalcade in Santiago de Compostela

As usual, the parade will begin on Avenida de Ferrol, at 17.00 hours, to distribute its 400 kilos of candy. Arriving at Praza do Obradoiro at 18.30 hours, the mayoress, Goretti Sanmartín, and the municipal corporation, will receive the Three Wise Men.

In addition, the Three Wise Men will receive the children in the Pazo de Raxoi from 19.00 hours.

Accompanied by a colorful procession of animation and floats, the Three Kings Parade of Ourense promises to dazzle young and old. The grandiose event will culminate with a spectacular fireworks display in the surroundings of the Miño River at 8:00 pm.

Cavalcade in Lugo

In Lugo, they will arrive at 18:00 to participate in the parade, which this year has adapted its route due to the pedestrianization works.
