January the fifth and sixth – The days Spain really celebrates Christmas

On January 5th Spain is waiting for the arrival of the three kings with Christmas gifts for all the family. In the afternoon and evening, there are parades in most towns and cities on the Costa del Sol where children are delighted with candies and illusions. In the evening, there are parties for adults almost everywhere. And in the morning the next day, on January 6, Spanish children wake up to find the Christmas gifts that the three kings left in their homes during the magical night. It is a Spanish tradition to leave water for the camels, and sweets for the kings where the gifts are expected to be found in the morning.
