SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Jan 4 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Three Wise Men from the East will arrive, one more year, by helicopter at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López Stadium, but due to sanitary restrictions the reception show ‘Las Fálerías de Babayán’ will be behind closed doors for the public and will be broadcast on Canary TV starting at 5:00 p.m.
‘The Babayán Factories’ has as its plot the hidden toy factory in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where Zenda, Balto and the rest of the characters prepare the gifts that the Three Wise Men will distribute during the night of January 5. Everything seems to be working well, until a shadow will endanger the arrival of their majesties.
Once the Mayor of Santa Cruz, José Manuel Bermúdez, and the Party Councilor, Alfonso Cabello, welcome the three Three Wise Men and hand over the magic key that opens all the homes in the municipality, five royal groups that will tour the main streets and avenues of all districts.
In the presentation of the events on the eve of Kings, the mayor pointed out the differences between the groups this year and those of the past “in which this year we went from four to five groups, without a curfew with which the rhythm will be more leisurely like the Traditional Parade and they will go through the main streets and avenues of the five districts “.
For his part, the Councilor for Festivities highlighted as a novelty and so that there are no long waits or crowds “the putting into operation of a system so that families can follow in real time at which points the royal groups are.”
ROYAL COMPETITIONS
Starting at 6:00 p.m., five royal groups will tour the main streets and avenues of Santa Cruz. The tours of the Centro-Ifara, Salud-La Salle, Ofra-Costa Sur and Southwest districts will consist of three floats decorated with lighting and music from which Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar will greet the people who congregate on the tour . The convoy closes with a truck loaded with gifts.
Given the special characteristics of the Anaga Massif, the Three Wise Men will visit the different towns, neighborhoods and hamlets in a convertible minibus that will also be accompanied by a truck full of gifts.
The routes of each of the delegations will be communicated on the social networks of the Autonomous Organization of Parties and Recreational Activities (OAFAR), as well as on the website www.reyesmagosensantacruz.com, where people with Android mobile devices will be able to follow the route through tracking that will allow them to geolocate the exact position of the floats on the city map.
The extensive route and the location of the five delegates by mobile devices has been proposed by the Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council to avoid crowds. In addition, the low speed at which the floats will advance will allow access to greet the Three Kings to be planned in an orderly manner.
