Christmas in Catalonia 3


Three Kings Procession
On December 5, as is the case throughout Spain, the Three Kings lead their procession through the city. The procession starts shortly after five o’clock.
On the night of December 5, children leave a shoe out for the Three Kings to fill (stockings clearly aren't so common in this Mediterranean climate!)

Nativity Scenes
The Catalan word for 'nativity' is 'pessebre' while in Spanish it is 'belén'.
