The Three Wise Men travel through the arid and dry landscape of the drought in Catalonia bringing the gift of rain, which has already begun to be noticed in the morning hours before the traditional (and expected, above all, by boys and girls) Horseback Riding this afternoon, which will tour the streets of cities and towns.
