Christmas in Spain
As in most countries, Christmas is very much a time for family in Spain and in Costa Tropical. For Spaniards, Christmas Eve, known in Spanish as ‘La Nochebuena’ or ‘Vispera De Navidad’, is a time to be with family and friends. Everyone gathers for a large family feast, which is a standard late meal. The menu can vary with lots of different traditional dishes, but you can be sure that Turrón, polvorones or mantecados will make an appearance somewhere. After the meal, it’s common for families to go out to the local bars and meet up with extended family and neighbors.
With Christmas Eve being of greater significance, Christmas Day is a little different from what you may expect. The day is a public holiday, but restaurants, cafés, and bars will be open and often with Christmas menus to cater to functions and tourists.

Epiphany Three Kings – Los Reyes Magos
Just when you thought you couldn’t bear to think about Christmas until next year, everyone is out in the streets, packing the shops in search of gifts from the Three Kings (the Three Wise Men). Coinciding with the feast of Epiphany when the Three Wise Men arrived in Bethlehem, this event is most exciting for the children, as this is the day that they’ll finally get their presents. In Spain, the tradition of Los Reyes Magos is more popular than Santa Claus and is celebrated with a parade through the streets. As the floats with the Three Kings pass, sweets are thrown to the kids (and adults) in the crowd with the inevitable competition of who can collect the most! The parade sets out on the 5th of January, normally at 5 pm.
As well as the parade and presents, Los Reyes Magos also bring with them another tradition, the eating of the Roscon. This is a large, round cake with a hole in the middle filled with cream. There is usually something hidden inside, a toy, a figure of one of the kings or a figure of Jesus.
Three Kings Cavalcade: tour and schedules in the main cities of Spain
