Puerto del Rosario Three Kings Day Parade 2019
The 2019 Puerto del Rosario Three Kings Day Parade takes place on January 5th at 17:30 at the harbour in Puerto del Rosario,Fuerteventura
Festivities begin on January 5th on the eve of Día de los Reyes Magos (Three Kings Day, January 6th), referred to as ‘Spain’s Second Christmas’. According to tradition, the three kings Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar, from Europe, Arabia, and Africa followed a star for 12 days until they came to Bethlehem. Bringing with them gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myhrr.
In the evening children across Fuerteventura line up their shoes by the door, along with food to feed the camels. When morning arrives, children discover presents and sweets, and if they have misbehaved, lumps of coal. Locals typically share a Roscón de Reyes (King’s Bread) to mark the event, a sweet dough in the shape of a crown, and embellished with candied fruits, sugar, and sweets.
Puerto del Rosario is the administrative capital of the island, the home of a large number of services, a centre of culture and leisure, with an intensive annual programme, a paradise for shopping and a leading light in terms of business, to which should be added its position as a centre of communications and the fact that it is near to the main tourist resorts. These are some of the many aspects which define Puerto del Rosario as a holiday destination.
