More on this later, but you can watch Madrid's Cabalgata de Reyes live online from 6:30pm to about 9pm at http://www.RTVE.es . Televisión Española emitirá el 5 de enero a las 18:30, un año más, la tradicional Cabalgata de los Reyes Magos que organiza el Ayuntamiento de Madrid. La 1 de TVE conectará con los lugares más emblemáticos del centro de la ciudad por los que pasen Melchor, Gaspar y Baltasar. I'm off NOW to see my district's Cabalgata de Reyes, which begins at 5pm. Gotta go! Will take some photos. Saludos, MadridMan

Read MadridMan's Newest Blog Entry: " Cabalgata de Reyes Magos in Madrid 2010" Did you all get to watch the Cabalgata de Reyes Magos wherever you are? I watched my neighborhood Cabalgata in person and then went home to watch the Madrid City Cabalgata on TV. Did anyone watch it online? I was happy to watch the kids scramble for the candies. But what surprised me was the number of grandparents also dipping down to grab them for their grandkids! Saludos, MadridMan

Hopefully the Spaniards might correct me but Reyes Magos is/was mainly to give gifts to children but now all people exchange gifts on this day, both old and young, similar (or same) to our Christmas day gift-opening rituals. Children went back to school today (11 January) - but because of the snow they were recommended to stay home. I've never seen any Magic Kings/Wise Men in malls here. I think that'd probably be somewhat sacrilegious. On the 6th of January TVE broadcasts a classical music concert from Vienna. Apart from that, I'm not sure. Normal broadcasting does not take place because few people are watching. Saludos, MadridMan

Yes, was just for childen

The tradition is the Vienna Philarmonic concert, 1st of January in the morning in RTVE

When we lived in Majadahonda, the family that lived next door always included us in their 3-Kings Day celebration and brought us a round cake with little toys baked in it. We would in turn, bring their kids halloween candy that we had bought from the U.S. Commisary down in Rota and bake them goodies at Christmas.
