Laia is nervous because the Three Kings haven't arrived in Catalonia yet, and she's been waiting for them for quite some time. Like every year, she and her brother will greet Their Majesties from the top of a ladder so as not to miss a thing, but this time they're bundled up in scarves and wool hats to protect themselves from the low temperatures that have characterized this year's festivities. "They'll come, they always come. The Kings are magical and will live forever," her older brother reassures her, having witnessed several parades before and knowing what he's talking about. Hours before the arrival of Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthazar, it snowed in different parts of the country, but in the major cities, the snow that fell between dawn and mid-morning on Monday didn't last long and melted by the afternoon. At higher elevations, however, there was a whitewashed parade, a very unusual sight in Catalonia.
