- Attend the famous party of “Els 3 tombs”: Els Tres Tombs is an event on the occasion of the festivity in honor of San Antonio Abad, saint of domestic animals. Its main activity is a parade of animals (horses, donkeys), horseback riding and carriages, through the center of the city, celebrating the festivity of Sant Antoni Abat. If you want to take a look, just walk to the Sant Antoni neighborhood on January the 21st and you’ll easily find the crowd.
- Celebrate the Epiphany: This holiday, known as “El día de Reyes” in Spain, is a Christian festivity celebrated on January the 6th. It’s when the gifts brought to us by the Three Kings at night are opened. It is a magical day especially for the children, who spend it playing with the toys. During this holiday the family eats and shares the “roscón de Reyes” (you can buy one in any bakery), a typical cake that includes two surprises: a dry broad bean and a king figurine. Whoever finds the bean will have to pay for the roscón, while whoever finds the figure will be crowned king.
