Murcia is ready to live tomorrow the day of arrival of the Magi that in 2018 will be represented by the secretary general of the Police Headquarters of the Region of Murcia, Javier de Pedro Peinado (Melchor);
the colonel of the Fifth Zone of the Civil Guard of Murcia, Jesús Arribas Revuelto (Gaspar);
and the Senegalese Ndiaye Begonme (Baltasar), who came to Murcia in 2006 in search of a better future and managed to settle in Bacons Bridge, where he currently works and resides.
Your agenda will begin at 9.30 am with a visit to the Belluga Cardinal Foundation.
Later, and as a novelty, they will visit the Morales Meseguer hospital and then move to the headquarters of the Journalists Association.
Around 11 hours they will visit the children of the Virgen de la Arrixaca hospital.
At approximately 12 hours they will arrive at the Glorieta de España.
The children who are waiting for them there will be able to enjoy, starting at 11 am, a sung-dance show and the distribution of 3,000 servings of the traditional roscón.
Later they will access the Plenary Hall where they will distribute sweets, balloons and masks of the Magi.
In the afternoon, at 6:00 pm, it will depart from San Juan de la Cruz Avenue and travel through Torre de Romo, Alameda de Colón, Gran Vía Salzillo, Plaza Circular and Alfonso X El Sabio, ending at Avenida Gutiérrez Mellado.
In this edition comparsas have been created specifically for this Cavalcade, such as Mary Poppins, Jellyfish, Christmas Elves or Super Wings and international elements have been included such as the Illuminated butterflies that come from Italy.
It will open the parade, which will involve a dozen floats, one of the Great Dragons of Princess Khaleesi of Game of Thrones, who will spit fire to make big and small open-mouthed.
In addition, this year, for the first time, Their Majesties the Kings of Orients will be accompanied by comparsas with dance and music with a luxury pageantry that includes fantasy elements with spectacular dromedaries and elephants.
Also new is the float with the first Living Huertano Nativity of the Cabalgata, whose Virgin Mary will be incarnated by the Queen of the Huerta 2017, Paula Gómez.
