Presents come on the sixth of January
Spanish children traditionally get their presents from the Reyes Magos, the Three Kings, on the sixth of January rather than from Santa Claus at Christmas. The evening before brings the cabalgata, a parade of floats through every town with the Kings throwing candy into the crowd, and children leave out shoes rather than stockings. Papá Noel has made inroads and many families now do both, which no child has objected to. The day is marked with roscón de reyes, a ring-shaped cake with a figurine hidden inside and a dried bean that costs whoever finds it the bill.
