Things to Do on Friday 5 January 2024

It’s market day in Torrevieja, so you can get all of your fresh ingredients to feed the Three Kings this weekend.

In Torrevieja, at 11:30 a.m. Christmas Playroom on calle Concepción will take place, then in the afternoon, at 4:30 p.m., the CAVALGATE OF THE THREE KINGS, the Three Kings Parade.

In Orihuela, at 11 a.m., Storytelling Workshop with puppets in La Matanza (in the Plaza de la Iglesia) and “Pirates Children’s Theatre” in Orihuela Centro (in the Plaza El Salvador). At 12:30 p.m., “Storytelling Workshop with Puppets” in Orihuela Centro (in Plaza El Salvador). At 1:30 p.m., “Magical Goblins Children’s Theatre” in Orihuela Centro (in Plaza El Salvador).

Guardamar del Segura will see the Three Kings parade through the streets from 6:00 p.m. from Plaza Jaume II to the town hall square.

It’s also important to remember that most shops will be closed on Saturday for Three Kings, many of them closing early on Friday for the same reason, but then a lot of the bigger shops are open on Sunday. That too is an important note because this Sunday is the last Sunday the shops are permitted to open this season, and so there will be no more Sunday shopping until Easter.
