The Christmas season comes to an end this weekend with the visit from the Three Kings. Melchior, Gaspar and Balthazar arrive with great pomp and ceremony this Friday 5 January. Accompanied by colourful entourages on decorated floats the Wise Men will tour the streets of every city, town and village in Spain. Thousands of children and their families will line the streets, ready to pocket their share of the hundreds of tonnes of sweets being sprayed out from the cavalcades. Then it will be home to bed in the hope that the trio pop in to leave them some gifts.

On the Costa del Sol, local councils have prepared glitzy shows to entertain on this last magical night of Christmas.
