Belén, you will see that I’ve taken your comment to heart and corrected the name. Once again, thank you for pointing it out. Feliz Año Nuevo.

Thanks for you comment Belén. You are absolutely right, it is ‘los Reyes Magos’ in general, but I live in Valencia and for some reason I’ve almost always heard it referred to as ‘Tres Reyes’, or ‘Los Reyos Magos’ if the name is published somewhere. But thank you for pointing it out. Even the Spanish themselves say that we Valencianos are a contrary lot, but however we say it, the fiesta is still a great occasion.

Hi! I’m a Spanish girl that just happend to see this post, it’s a good description of Reyes, but in Spain it’s called just “Reyes” or “los Reyes Magos” but not “tres reyes”(i think that may be an incorrect translation from english), I don’t know if in México it’s different.
