There is no doubt that the ones who enjoy Christmas the most are the little ones at home. It’s up to us to offer them the best family activities so that they have a dream holiday. Skating on ice rinks, strolling around the street markets, visiting the Christmas lights… There are endless events and activities throughout the festive season, but we can’t miss the Three Wise Men’s parade.
This year, the Three Wise Men from the East with their magic will visit all the children who are in the principality during the afternoon of the 5th of January, to share the illusion of Christmas.
This year, with Epiphany falling on a Saturday, there is no better plan than to escape to Andorra for the weekend, to spend these magical days wrapped in snow and adventure. So, if you happen to be in any of the following parishes during these days, take note!

In Andorra la Vella, the Menairons will be collecting children’s letters at the Magic Post Office until the afternoon of 4th January.
On the 4th, from 18:30h onwards, the Royal Page will announce the arrival of the Three Wise Men.
On the evening of the 5th, the children will be able to greet the Three Wise Men from their homes, and they will visit various places in the parish.
