The night before families and friends generally gather and eat chocolate milk and Three King's cake called "roscón de Reyes". The cake has got the shape similar to a king's crown. Children go to sleep after having a piece of cake and wake up very early to check what presents they have got because The Three Wise Men leave presents to children who behave themselves during the year. Children must leave some grass and water for the camels. They can find the present following the trail camels leave behind.

Hello Nikol, you are right. It was a mistake, sorry about that. I have changed it. We have also talked about 6th December which is also another day for children in other countries like The Netherlands. We also celebrate Constitution Day in Spain. Thanks a lot, Nikol.
