How is El día de los Reyes celebrated in Spain?

Question

I would love to hear about how El día de los Reyes is celebrated in Spain. My students will be decorating our classroom door and it will be about Spain's Epiphany celebration. If you've lived in Spain or live in Spain now and have some insight into the holiday I would love to hear about it. Do the children really put shoeboxes or shoes under their beds for the wisemen?

Answer 1

Big celebration in Spain

Apart from the presents on the 6th of January, the big thing is the parade the night before, with the three wise men sitting on camels. Followed by all the presents.
