Subsequently, they went to the Press Association and made their traditional visit to the Hospital Virgen de la Arrixaca, where they have filled gifts for the children of the Mother and Child.

At 10:00 hours, the City Council has distributed 3,000 servings of roscón stuffed with cream, a free tasting for all children and adults who were eagerly waiting for the arrival of the Magi, then thousands of children went up to the Plenary Hall of the City Council , which were presented with a souvenir.

Their Majesties of the East were officially presented by José Ballesta from the municipal balcony, while the children shouted, at the top of their lungs, the name of each of the kings so that they would make their long-awaited appearance: "The Magi have fallen asleep and must wake them up to go out on the balcony, so between all we are going to call them with all our strength, "the mayor asked.

"Now we have to call Melchor, then we will wake up Gaspar and finally, we will name Baltasar, who has fallen asleep more than the others".

On behalf of the Kings, they have encouraged the little ones to build a Murcia where the equality of all is a reality and that any person, however different, must have the same opportunities to be happy and look to the future with hope.
