The Three Kings walked through Castellbell i el Vilar on January 5, after the transport company decided to withdraw the horses due to the risk of frost and intense cold.

The traditional parade of Their Majesties in Castellbell i el Vilar surprised many residents yesterday, as the animals usually transporting Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthazar did not participate in the procession.

"The fact that there were no horses during this year's parade was solely due to a decision by the responsible company."

According to the organizers, the animal owners determined that “the weather forecasts and the risk of frost could endanger the welfare of the animals”. This decision was made to ensure the safety of the horses.
Despite the absence of the animals, the magic was present. The Three Kings walked through the streets of the Bages municipality, spreading joy and warmth among attendees, accompanied by low-intensity fireworks.
