🎉 Spain’s First Fiesta of the Year: Día de los Reyes Magos! 👑

Think Christmas is over once January hits? Not in Spain! The festive spirit is alive and kicking with Día de los Reyes Magos (Three Kings’ Day) — a celebration packed with parades, sweets, and traditions that’ll make you feel like royalty. Here’s the lowdown on how Granada (and Spain) throws this most magical fiesta of the year. 🎭 5th January – The Three Kings’ Eve Parade The excitement kicks off on January 5th with the Cabalgata de Reyes — a parade like no other! The streets of Granada are buzzing as the Three Kings roll through on spectacular floats, throwing handfuls of candy to the crowd. Expect music, dancing, and tons of sweets flying your way! Pro tip: Bring a bag to catch the candies (and maybe a helmet if you’re standing up front — those sweets fly). 🎁 6th January – Three Kings’ Day On January 6th, it’s time for presents, family gatherings, and a big feast. Kids wake up to find out if the Kings granted their wishes, while adults head to cathedrals for religious services and cozy up with a slice of Roscón de Reyes — the traditional cake of the day. What’s so special about this cake? It’s not just delicious; it’s a game! Hidden inside the cake are: • A king figurine 👑 (Find it and you’re royalty for the day!) • A bean 🌱 (Find this, and you’re footing the bill for the cake!) The Roscón is filled with cream, chocolate, or jam and topped with candied fruits that make it look like a crown. Who knew dessert could be this much fun? So, if you’re in Granada for the Día de los Reyes Magos, don’t miss the magic. Join the parade, catch some sweets, and maybe even become the king or queen for a day! 🎉 #getgoing2025
