The ceremony starts at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López Stadium, where an endearing tale will be told to welcome Their Majesties. Once there, the Mayor will offer them the magical key that opens all the houses in the city and from then they will embark on their journey through the main streets of the city in the magical and vibrant parade. This show will be forever etched into your little ones’ memories. The Kings will seek to deliver all of their presents on time to excited children who will go to sleep early so that the Kings can enter their homes.
Do you know why Spanish children leave their shoes underneath the Christmas tree? The popular tale is that two children were playing with baby Jesus and wanted to give him a pair of shoes so he was not playing barefooted. The children cleaned the shoes and left them to dry on the balcony. The next morning, they discovered a large pile of presents laying next to them.
Enjoy unforgettable moments together with your family and have a magical time at the Kings Cavalcade in Tenerife. Try the traditional Roscón de Reyes (Kings Cake), with origins from Roman times and enjoy Caribbean versions of it, with delicious sweet bread and fruit cream.
