So funny the timing as I just found out about this tradition myself yesterday speaking to an Italian woman at the gym in Valencia. Thanks for explaining more of it to me!

This is also the most exciting day for Spanish kids as they traditionally get their presents (in their shoes) from the three wise men today.

Sadly no presents for me either but looking forward to tucking into a slice of roscón cake today to celebrate. Feliz Reyes!

Thanks, Emma! Befana skipped my house this year, too...

May need to get to Italy for next January!

I didn't know about La Befana - what a wonderful woman. Thanks for sharing the results of your wonderful curiosity.
