“ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS CAN CAUSE OUTDOOR EVENTS TO BE POSTPONED OR CANCELLED” 🌧️💦
Twelfth Night is almost upon us, the Epiphany, preceded by the Noche del Reyes Magos, or ‘Night of the Kings’, the spectacular finale to the holiday season, when 3 wise men are expected to visit every home in the kingdom, in celebration of a newly born child. To some houses, Santa has already been.
REYES MAGOS – THE THREE WISE MEN / THE THREE KINGS
This is the most magical time of the year for kids throughout all Spain.
The long observed traditions here supersede those of more northern European Yuletime legends, you know the ones telling of a benevolent, sometimes mischievous and goaty, old man secretly delivering gifts and toys to good little children on Christmas eve, or indeed the roman catholic stories of the originally Turkish-born Saint Nicholas, who nowadays morphs into a red robed and chuckling Santa Claus character flying from Lapland on his reindeer-drawn sleigh.
By far the more prominently celebrated story here is of Los Reyes Magos, the Three Wise Men or Three Kings; telling of strangers arriving from the east, following a star, bringing gifts for a newborn, and as luck would have it magically supplying gifts to all good christians, and children too, on the Day of the Epiphany, which is of course the 12th night, or the eve of the 6th day of January.
This is when Melchor, Gaspar and Baltazar bring their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. They arrive to Street Parades in every major town, as they are celebrated across Gran Canaria on the 5th, the Noche de Los Reyes Magos.
Most towns and cities throughout Spain, and across the island, will be hosting extravagant events and parades, aimed mainly at the littlest in the family, to welcome these migrant travellers, from far-off lands, who arrive from the east via every imaginable mode of transport, whether on a boat, car, parachute or helicopter, they will be presented with a magical key by the local mayor so that they can let themselves into each of the townspeople’s homes to leave them something special.
Two of the biggest and most magical parades on Gran Canaria occur in the capital and up in the beautiful eastern town of Agüimes. The parades in Gáldar, Telde, and Maspalomas are also very popular and loved by many. Traditional seasonal and artisanal markets can be found in many major towns across the island in the run-up to the main seasonal gift-giving day, between 2-5 January 2025.
Remember that Reyes Magos parades around Gran Canaria will also mean road closures, parking restrictions, and even public transport changes!

#GranCanariaWeather for the weekend ahead
It’s time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new! Following the post-Christmas settle, Gran Canaria is gearing up for a massive week of celebrations, ranging from traditional mountain stews to coastal New Year’s Eve countdowns.
⚠️🌤️ Weather Update: Stable and Sunny The island has moved past the volatile weather of previous weeks and is enjoying a very stable phase.
-
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria: Expect consistent highs of 22°C and lows of 16°C–17°C through the weekend.
-
General Conditions: Mostly clear skies or light intervals of clouds are forecast. While some localized rain is possible in the interior on Sunday, the coastal areas remain ideal for outdoor events.
🍲🌿 Saturday Highlight: Potaje Fest For a taste of true Canary tradition, head to Vega de San Mateo this Saturday, December 27. The town is hosting its first-ever “Potaje Fest” (Stew Festival), celebrating the hearty, local vegetable stews that are a staple of the island’s midland culture.
🎨✨ Postponed Return: Ingeniarte Good news for craft lovers! The ‘Ingeniarte’ festival in Ingenio, which was cancelled last week due to the storm, is officially back on for December 26–27. It features a large artisan fair and a festive Christmas parade.
🎉🥳 Pre-New Year Celebrations Why wait until the 31st? The “Pre-Pre-New Year” parties start early:
-
Saturday, Dec 27: Valsequillo kicks off the festivities with a dedicated pre-New Year party.
-
Sunday, Dec 28: Playa del Inglés hosts the Children’s Pre-New Year Party right next to Anexo II—a perfect family-friendly countdown.
🕒🥂 New Year’s Eve: Daytime Magic Gran Canaria is famous for its “Tarde Vieja” (Daytime New Year’s Eve) celebrations on December 31. You can celebrate early in Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria (Beach), Artenara, Arucas, Moya, San Mateo, Vecindario, and Telde before the main midnight events begin.
👑🐪 Reyes Magos: The Three Kings The holiday season doesn’t end on the 31st! The arrival of the Three Wise Men (Melchor, Gaspar, and Baltazar) is the most magical time for families.
-
Parades (Jan 5): Grand parades will take over Las Palmas, Gáldar, Agüimes, Maspalomas, and Telde.
-
Artisan Markets (Jan 2–5): Final gift shopping at the San Telmo and Vegueta markets is a must-do tradition.
🧥🧣 Packing Advice While it is much warmer than last week, keep those light layers for the evening. If you’re heading to San Mateo for the Stew Festival or to the mountains for the Three Kings festivities, a jacket is still essential as temperatures in the higher altitudes drop significantly after sunset.

Overview ☀️
🌴 #GranCanariaWeather
As we bid farewell to 2025 and move through the final festive stretch, the weather across Gran Canaria is settling into a very stable and pleasant pattern. Following the earlier disruptions caused by Storm Emilia, the island is now seeing a much more predictable and calm atmosphere, ideal for the numerous outdoor holiday programs and markets currently in full swing.
Expect a mix of clear skies and high intervals of clouds that will not significantly impact the daytime festivities. While the northern slopes and mountainous interior may see some moisture, the coastal areas—particularly in the south—remain bathed in mild winter sunshine.
Temperatures across the island are maintaining a consistent and comfortable range, with daytime highs reaching up to 22°C in the capital and along the sunny southern shores. This stable thermal profile, combined with generally light and variable winds, provides a perfect backdrop for the year-end celebrations, from the “Potaje Fest” in San Mateo to the lively daytime New Year’s Eve parties in Puerto Rico.
