Animals at the toy specism show

  • “Sweet!” Before the arrival of the Three Magi, this was one of the most heard phrases in the Sunday parade through the streets of Pamplona: “Sweet!” The boys and girls who had gathered in the ditch asked for candy to all the Magi helpers as they walked in front of them. On the one hand, they wanted candy; on the other hand, they wanted to see the Magi. “Melchor, Melchor!” Nothing else. They didn't need more decorations to turn their night into magic.

The Cabalgata association of the Magi Kings of Pamplona, however, once again used and prayed to eleven individuals; transformed into ornaments and objects the horses, dromedaries and geese in charge, tied them with strings and forced them to move between the screams of the crowd and the music of the parade. They were converted into toys during the specism parade.

The Cabalgata de los Reyes Magos association of Pamplona, with the sponsorship of the City Hall, organized the events of Sunday. The show was attended by the Clínica Universitaria de Navarra del Opus Dei, the Club Equino Añezcar, the butchers Goñi Moxal and Lacturale. In the parade, dozens of people, including horses, were used. In particular, twenty-one of his horses were removed. One of them was drooling when he passed through Zaragoza Avenue. The parade kicked off at 19:00 from the neighboring school of Santa Catalina, but by 16:00 hours the horses were in operation, as they also participated in the reception of the Magi at the door of France. Along with them, the organizers also used a mandan converted into a unicorn in the reception and in the opening parade. Two children sat on the animal's back loin, and on the top of the back paw they glued colored paper hearts. The children and parents who attended the show laughed. "They've made it beautiful! ", several people screamed.

The Magi marched over the chariots, although the dromedaries, which had already been used, had no time to rest and had to walk streets full of knuckles all the time the parade lasted. A group of geese walked the street. In the parade, 150 specimens were used and along with them a peacock was used. The geese re-fused all the way. "They'll get stressed! ", several viewers said. They walked from one side to the other, stirred both by the crowd and by the screams. Very different was the step taken by the three horses that had behind their backs the three Magi: with their heads low and following at all times the rhythm marked by men.

On Sunday, animals of the human species became pieces of a parade in Pamplona; also in many other cities and towns of Euskal Herria. They became toys, regardless of their basic interests. Decorated in the parade of the special Magi.
