Along with the Christmas lights or Christmas concerts, the parade of the Three Wise Men of the East is undoubtedly one of the great events of the year. The date that everyone, especially the little ones, write in red in their calendars.
Anyone who has grown up in the city will have gone to the great central parade of Barcelona, the one in which the Kings arrive by boat to the port and then cross the center of the city throwing candy from spectacular floats.
But, beyond this triumphal walk, the Kings also travel to the neighborhoods of the city, with smaller parades that bring their Majesties to all the doors of Barcelona. After the pandemic restrictions, this year there will be more neighborhood parades than ever. Up to 17 majestic parades through the neighborhoods of Barcelona, as reported in Betevé, where they have made an elaborate map with all the parades, and here we bring you all the information about them so you can enjoy their Majesties right next to home.
