Lanzarote awaits the arrival of Their Majesties the Three Kings. The celebration is on this Thursday 4 and Friday 5 and there are several activities for the kids and the whole family.
Every year, on January 5, a parade is celebrated to honor the Three Kings, who travel through the desert to Bethlehem to offer gifts to the newborn baby Jesus. In the Canary Islands it is customary to see the Kings on their camels, a special image for the little ones who always wait for this event.
The Three Kings Day (Ephifany day) is celebrated in all the Spanish territory, but in the Canary Islands it is special with the sun shining and the bright smiles of the "chinijos" (little kids).
Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar, along with their pages will go around Lanzarote to visit the children and receive their letters.
Have a look at the Three Kings Parades that will take place in Lanzarote this year.
