These are the streets closed for the Three Kings parade in Tarragona
Their Majesties will arrive at the Serrallo around six in the afternoon and will go up to the Town Hall
TarragonaOnce again, the Three Kings will arrive in Tarragona by boat on January 5th. Their Majesties will disembark in the Serrallo maritime district, and their arrival will not go unnoticed. To welcome Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthazar, the sirens of Tarragona's boats and ships will sound. A 21-gun salute will also be fired to celebrate the arrival of the Three Kings in the city, scheduled for 6:15 p.m. To ensure the safety of the Three Kings and the thousands of children who will accompany them during the parade, the Tarragona City Police will close the streets along the procession route. The first disruptions will be in the Serrallo district, shortly before the arrival of the Three Kings. After delivering a short speech from the balcony of the Teatret del Serrallo to greet the children and begin throwing the first sweets, Their Majesties will be taken to Plaça de la Font in a parade that will pass through the city center streets and involve road closures. The Guardia Urbana (local police) will close and reopen streets as the royal procession advances.
The route
The parade will begin at 7:00 p.m., departing from Carrer Reial. Led by the motorized Guardia Urbana (municipal police) and the float representing the Tarragona lighthouse, the procession will continue along Carrer Reial to Plaça dels Carros, then proceed up Carrer d'Apodaca. It will cross Plaça de la Mitja Lluna and continue along Carrer Unió, Rambla Nova (where it will circle twice), and then return up Carrer Sant Agustí and Carrer del Portalet to reach Plaça de la Font. According to forecasts, Their Majesties are expected to arrive at Tarragona City Hall around 8:30 p.m. At this point, marking the end of the parade, there will be trumpet and drum trumpets to greet the Three Kings, the mayor will present them with the keys to the city, and Kings Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthazar will deliver a message of peace to the children. Next, the Three Wise Men will prepare to deliver gifts to all the houses in the city.
