Barcelona is preparing for the grand arrival of the Three Kings on January 5! At 4:30 PM, Melchior, Caspar, and Balthasar will enter the city on the float at Portal de la Pau, where they will be greeted by the Mayor. In a traditional gesture, they will be offered bread and salt and given the keys to the city. This year, to celebrate the bicentenary of the Tres Tombs de Sant Antoni, the Kings will travel in traditional carts from Portal de la Pau to Pg. Circumval·lació. The much-anticipated parade will start at 6 PM, with new floats accompanying the Kings.

- – Make sure that you stay behind the barriers and safety signs when floats are passing by.
- – Do not speak to or distract security staff, the drivers, or those who are accompanying the floats on foot unless there is an emergency situation, or there has been an accident.
- – Do not get too close to the floats, and never try to climb onto them.
- – Never step into the road to pick up sweets that are left behind as the floats pass by, as you could be in danger from those that follow.
- – Do not walk between the floats, or approach them when they are stationary or are refuelling.
- – Do not throw sweets at security staff, those who are on the floats, or other people who are watching the parade.
- – When the event is over, leave the area in an orderly way, respecting the order of departure, and following the instructions of the security staff.
