What it is
The Three Kings Parade fills the streets of Córdoba with families every 5 January, and 2027 will be no different: the date is fixed. The city's parade brings floats, entertainers, bands and a shower of sweets along some of the widest avenues in the city. At the end, the Kings arrive by horse-drawn carriage at the Plaza del Cristo de Gracia for the Adoration. As well as the main parade, outlying districts such as El Higuerón, Villarrubia, Cerro Muriano, Alcolea, Trassierra and Santa Cruz hold their own parades early in the afternoon.
Getting there and tickets
It can be watched for free from the street. In 2026 it set off at 5 pm from the Plaza de Santa Teresa and continued along the Avenida de Cádiz, the Plaza de Andalucía, the Puente de San Rafael, the Avenida del Corregidor, Vallellano, the Paseo de la Victoria and part of the Rondas. Córdoba City Council organises the parade and publishes the final route and times in December. There are road closures along the whole route that day, so it is best to go on foot or by public transport.
