Ibiza, 4 January 2017. Everything is ready to welcome the Three Wise Men, or Magi from the East, in Ibiza.  The Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) did not want to miss this long-awaited event and will take part in the parade with a float in the shape of a sailing boat.


With this boat, the APB pays tribute to the intrepid merchants and sailors of the islands who sailed through Mediterranean waters in the 16th and 17th centuries on board ships very similar to this one.

Also on board will be the royal pages, essential figures for the Kings in order to carry out the arduous task of giving out presents to the people of Vila.
 

Having expressly travelled from Palma, where it took part in the last two editions of the Three Kings Parade in the city, it is expected that the float will remain in the Pityusic Islands for another few years.

The Three Wise Men from the East will arrive at the other APB ports by sea. Arrival will be at the following times:

* Port of Palma at 6pm.
* Port of Alcúdia at 6pm.
* Port of Mahon at 7pm.
* Port of La Savina at 4.30pm.
