Thousands of people lined the streets of Santa Cruz, the capital of Tenerife, on Friday evening to watch the Three Kings procession windings its way along a 3-kilometre route. This annual event takes place on the eve of Epiphany and is the highlight of the winter season festivities for children and adults alike.<\/p>\n
