After the delivery of the key to the city, which took place in the royal camp located in the park of La Constitución and where the pages of the Magi have been working intensely for more than a week, Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar maintained a meeting with the mayor to make sure that everything was going according to plan so that, starting at 4:00 p.m., the different routes through the municipality could be done.
Given the difficulties arising from the pandemic, the mayor recalled that the City Council and the royal courts reached an agreement to “suspend, for another year, the traditional parade through the town and celebrate these decentralized visits from Taco to Punta del Hidalgo, to That Their Majesties could greet the little ones with the maximum guarantees of safety, in order to avoid crowds and unnecessary trips to the center ”.
