Families throughout Spain pack streets for traditional 'The Three Kings' parades - Winnipeg Free Press: "Thousands of parents and children packed the sidewalks of cities and towns across Spain on Wednesday to watch parades marking the eve of the Epiphany — a Christian holiday celebrating the coming of the Magi to baby Jesus.
In the largest parade, in Madrid, tens of thousands of people weathered icy rain to see dozens of ornately decorated floats roll down the main Paseo de la Castellana boulevard accompanied by clowns, fantasy figures, jugglers and marching bands in a nationally televised three-hour event.
Adults and children in costumes threw sweets from the floats to the children below."
