Mary Poppins and Los Reyes Magos
Tickets went on sale last week for the annual visit of Los Reyes (The Three Kings) to the Heliodoro Rodríguez football stadium in Tenerife's capital, Santa Cruz, on the night of January 5th. There are processions of Los Reyes in most towns in Tenerife (and, indeed, Spain), but in Santa Cruz, they tend to do it pretty largely.
The show for 2007 is going under the title of "Mary Poppins and Los Reyes Magos", half of which requires no translation and, in which 500 children will participate.
(Modern-day biblical kings have even contracted helicopters to make their grand entrance in the past and they will be arriving by that method again this year, as is confirmed by this report at ABC.) The 22,000 seats are sold, at various offices and the stadium itself, at a token price of one euro (though separate donations above that price are welcomed), all of which goes to benefit seven charity organizations.
It will definitely be a grand show, but there is never anywhere to park in Santa Cruz and the authorities (as do I) recommend that you use public transport if you go.
Las entradas de los Reyes Magos están a la venta desde hoy y costarán un euro
