Arrival of the Kings

On our way through town today to meet up with Dave & Heather (next blog) for a drink, we came across a gathering in the Plaza de la Concordia, so we stopped for a look.









We later found out that it was the starting point for a procession, led by two kings, to gather at the Town hall square at the top of town and receive messages from the children of the town to take to the baby Jesus.


The Olvera Town Band were gathering to provide the music.













At 12 noon the procession started on its way to the top of town, followed by quite a few of the onlookers.









We stopped at this point as we had to meet up with Dave & Heather but it was a lovely sight to see and we wished we'd had time to see the children handing over their letters and messages.
