The annual Madrid city council cavalcade of the three Magi was this year, January 5, 2010, dedicated for the Culture of Peace which is part of the United Nations year of Culture 2010. 

Thousands of children and adults who lined up the Castellana were shouting at the entourage of the parade, “Aqui, Aqui” or “Caramelos, Caramelos” (Here, here and Sweets, sweets) hoping to be thrown or given some of the 1,000 kilos of sugar free and gluten free sweets. 

Many children asked for their photo taken and a few enterprising teenagers wanted me to give them my camera. Of course, I gave them something better, my card with Demotix.com written on it.

The spirit of the occasion was confirmed to me by a Municipal Police Officer on duty, who told me that this year’s Cavalcade was the best he’s seen these past nine years since he joined the police force. 

The three wise men made their way from Nuevos Minsterios to Plaza Cibeles, in front of the Town Hall, where King Melchior read a message of peace. Alberto Ruiz Gallardón, the Mayor of Madrid, was in Plaza Cibeles to meet the three Magi Melchior, Caspar, Balthazar.

The Parade included floats from many organisations and companies, including one organised by the Down’s Syndrome Association for the first time. 

The theme of the Culture for Peace was based on the story of Phileas Fogg’s journey around the world in eighty days




Note: 7 January 2010 That's it! Until next Christmas. Have a Good Year!
