Three Kings Parade in Benalmadena Pueblo

Traditionally the Spanish celebrate the giving of presents on the 6th of January. Children put out their shoes to receive thier presents from the 3 Kings.

On the afternoon of the 5th January Benalmadena Pueblo had his Three Kings Parade to celebrate. Sweets were thrown to the kids from colourful floats. A highly memorable event, not only for the children.
The Parade began with a little delay, and just in time it started to rain! But luckily not for long, and so anybody enjoyed the parade and the afternoon.

Andalucia experienced many, many rainy days in December, but WE have luck, our apartment is dry... No water comes through the windows, through the doors or through the walls ;)


Some impressions of the beautiful parade:

Jesus was born - Merry Christmas

Actually we have to admit that we don't have a clue why the locals say "God was born" (in Spanish: Dios ha nacido"), instead of "Jesus was born". Do you know why?

This is how many balconies are decorated during Christmas time:
