Although the parade doesn't officially start until 6:00 PM, the three central bridges will be closed to traffic from 4:00 PM. The parade on the eve of Three Kings' Day will cover a two-kilometer route. The Three Kings, who as always will arrive by train at the Lleida-Pirineus station, will set foot in the city at 5:30 PM. However, the parade itself won't begin until 6:00 PM, and will proceed along Plaça Ramon Berenguer IV; Rambla Ferran; Avinguda Francesc Macià, Avinguda Blondel, and Avinguda Madrid; Plaça Espanya; and again Avinguda Blondel, until reaching the Paeria building around 8:00 PM.</p>]]></description>

However, what all countries do share is that children and families experience the Christmas holidays with the same excitement, but how do they experience them?</p>]]></description>

For example, they wanted to avoid at all costs a Castañada celebration that was the same every year of a child's nine years in primary school. They set themselves the challenge, therefore, of rethinking the holidays as a learning objective and adapted them to the needs and possibilities of each educational stage.</p>]]></description>
