Their Majesties the Three Kings of the East, Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthazar, toured the streets of L'Hospitalet for over two and a half hours on January 5, 2026, culminating at the City Hall Square.

The royal entourage began its route at 5:30 p.m. from the Plaça de l’Escorça, crossing the neighborhoods of Santa Eulàlia, Sant Josep, and Centre. The procession, made up of over 300 people and various themed floats, arrived at the City Hall Square around 7:30 p.m.

"We have come to L'Hospitalet loaded with gifts for everyone. Follow us to the City Hall Square!"

Once at the municipal building, Mayor David Quirós welcomed Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthazar and handed them the magical key that opens all the city's doors. From the balcony, the Kings thanked the reception and asked the children to go to sleep early so they could distribute the 5,000 kg of sweets and 300 kg of coal.
As a notable feature, the 2026 Parade included for the second consecutive year a low-stimulus zone in the Sant Josep neighborhood (between Canigó and Batllori streets), reserved for children with functional diversity or sensory hypersensitivity, where music volume was reduced and sweets were handed out directly.
