Kings' Day is the big day of the festive season here, Bren. The royal page has been collecting letters with requests. Then the Kings themselves will arrive later this evening and there will be a cavalcade, as they parade through the village, throwing sweets about.
In Barcelona, they arrive by tall ship most years and are met by the mayor. As our village is more modest, they will arrive by tractor and the page will travel in a tractor trailer, but they will still be greeted by the mayor.
The traditions include blackface and bright, shiny clothing and crowns.
