At the dock, the mayor of Palma, Jaime Martínez, presented the keys to the city to Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthazar before they began their procession through the main streets of the Balearic capital, with the Mounted Police leading the way.

The Three Kings will once again keep to tradition and will parade through the streets and squares of Mallorca this Monday, January 5th. Their majesties will arrive laden with gifts, but also with a few bags of coal, on a day filled with the excitement of children and a festive atmosphere across the island.
