JazminesII · 24-11-2008, 13:08

Hi everybody who is a member of this forum....do you all live in Costa Blanca or do any of you live in Costa Cálida your costal neighbour

Anyway since Costa Blanca and Costa Almeria are both near please can you tell me about any events happening for 3 kings.....then we can choose the best ones to go to

Val · 24-11-2008, 13:49

I hope not ! Spain is soooo much more than these too Costas, mind you some folks think that Costa del Sol IS all of Spain. I hope Absolute Spain will cover the WHOLE country

We live about 12 k west of Sevilla in the Coast of Light between two villages each different to the other.

Cant help with your question sorry, for Los Reyes we have a choice of 3 /4places.

A lot of people miss the 3 kings celebrations because they assume they are on tuesday
6th January (3 Kings Day) In actual fact they are today Monday 5th January. usually between 4pm-7pm. As it is now 4.10pm I am loggng off to go to Rojales to watch the parade..and get my roscone (how's that Val) and hot chocolate at the Pensionistas club.

Hi CD and Val enjoy your local Three Kings celebrations......we are off to ours about 8 ;-))

Hot chocalate......yum yum....have you tried "Cola Cao".......

Val · 05-01-2009, 18:54

El chocolate caliente y Roscon de Reyes son muy buenos

we went to one of the local village Three Kings event, it was busy as usual and have eaten my fill of sweeties etc.

I have cola cao with Crema Caballero sometimes before bed.

Sorry for my ignorance but what are the 3 Kings celebration??

Val · 20-05-2009, 12:09

It is the 6th January, Three Kings Day (Los Reyes). This is the day that the Three Kings arrived in Bethlehem, it is also the most important day for the children as the Three Kings in effect replace Father Christmas for Spanish children (although Santa is becoming popular). Parents encourage children to write to the Three Kings with their gift requests.
Every town and city in Spain will have a procession on the night of 5th January where tons of sweets/gifts will be thrown from the passing floats, much to the joy of the children and adults. On the morning of the 6th January you can only imagine the excitement of the children as they rip open their gifts.

Where do I live? I sometimes wonder! Paradise, Elysium, Nirvana ???? Whatever, I am happily settled on the Costa Blanca, just south of Torrevieja. It ticks most boxes. I am familiar with coastal Spain and hope to better explore the rest of it. But there is where the anchor's dropped for now.
