Every year Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar arrive in spectacular parades (cabalgatas de reyes) with a very welcoming reception from children and parents. Sometimes these parades explore a topic, allowing children to learn with delight.  Zaragoza’s 2017 cabalgata explored the topic of the planets.  Previously,… Cabalgata de Reyes

inter2ling 22/12/2016

Poncho de Navidad This is a very popular hot drink for Christmas,  particularly in the North of Spain. It goes very well with “turrones”, the traditional Spanish Christmas sweet. When I was a child we used to make it on Christmas Eve in the late afternoon, when darkness falls. Children enjoy the sight of the flames when the wine is burned.
