Father Christmas (Santa Claus) has gradually been making a name for himself in Spain over the last 20 years or so. But the traditional and best-loved present bearers for Spanish children are the Three Kings. Gaspar, Balthasar and Melchior, whose names form an essential part of any Spanish childhood, visit every house on the camels and leave present...
It’s one of the biggest events in Malaga of the year and the city centre is packed with families all anxious to catch a glimpse of the Three Kings. The parade takes the form of a cavalcade with highly-decorated floats and performers accompanying them. Each King rides a separate float sitting on a high throne and surrounded by his courtiers. The Thr...
The Three Kings Parade in Malaga starts with their majesties’ arrival at around 5pm. The starting point varies depending on the year. In 2025, the Kings spend the night at the Alcazaba Fortress (once a royal residence) and go from here to City Hall. They then join the parade as it makes its way around the city. Start time is 6pm from City Hall.
The Parade always starts at City Hall where the Mayor receives the royal visitors. It then makes its way (very slowly) down the Paseo del Parque and into the city centre. The exact itinerary varies from year to year. We’re still waiting for confirmation for 2025, but we expect it to be broadly similar to 2024. Avda. de Cervantes, Plaza General Torr...

Take public transport
Or walk into Malaga city centre. There’s no point trying to drive in as the city is gridlocked and all car parks full. If you’re coming to Malaga from the west end of the Costa del Sol, park in the large car parks near the Martín Carpena sports stadium and take the metro from here. Get off at Atarazanas station in the centre. You can also get the number 7 bus from the sports stadium, but progress will be slow because of the traffic. If you’re coming to Malaga from the east, park where you can...
Watch your children
This is one of the busiest events in Malaga and the streets are packed. Keep a very close eye on your children at all times in case they slip away and keep them well back from the Parade itself. Barriers run the length of the itinerary but even so, make sure your children don’t climb or slip under them.
Choose your spot
Before you arrive, choose your spot and then get there early especially if you want a frontline view of the parade. We recommend bagging your place at least an hour before the parade is due to pass, even earlier if you’re really keen.
Although 5 January isn’t a public holiday, it’s a Sunday so many shops and businesses will be closed. Many museums close early (usually at 5pm). Monday 6 January is a public holiday when shops and businesses are closed. Bars and restaurants open as usual.
