Kids in Spain usually wait till January 6 to open their Christmas presents rather than December 25.

La cabalgata de los Reyes Magos 2023 de Madrid recorre las calles más céntricas de la capital de España hoy, 5 de enero de 2023. El desfile de sus Majestades de Oriente recupera este 2023 la normalidad y el esplendor perdidos tras dos años deslucidos a causa de la pandemia del Covid y Melchor, Gaspar y Baltasar van a poder ofrecer un espectáculo lleno de ilusión, magia y toneladas de caramelos poco antes de que comiencen a dejar los regalos a niños y mayores en sus casas.

Música, luces, gigantes y hasta una bandada de aves o elefantes africanos acompañarán a los Reyes Magos por Madrid en una comitiva formada por un millar de personas y 11 carrozas y que este año abrirá el Ángel de la Paz para recordarnos el camino al entendimiento entre todos.
