LOS REYES MAGOS 2024 | THE ROYAL CAMP ARRIVES IN XÀBIA
The camp will be open for two evenings before the arrival of the Three Kings. Royal Emissaries will also collect letters in the port.
The festive season is not quite over as anticipation grows, especially amongst the youngsters, for the arrival of three very special people: the Three Kings of the Orient. As once again, the days leading up to this exciting moment will be filled with fun activities for all the family, including the arrival of the Royal Camp amongst the trees of the Parque Montaner.
As has long been tradition, Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar will be arriving by fishing boat at 5.00pm this Friday, welcomed by many hundreds of people before they join their entourage to parade through the town and greet the children. However, the youngsters will be able to make sure that Their Majesties are aware of their wishes when the Royal Emissaries visit Xàbia.
