Is Christmas different in Spain?


Is Christmas different in Spain? One of the most unique facts about Christmas in Spain is that there's no Santa Claus. Forget Saint Nick – in Spain, it's the Three Kings or the Three Wise Men (known as Reyes Magos – Melchior, Gaspar and Baltazar) who bring the gifts to good children at Christmas time. They also don't come on Christmas Eve.


Does Spain have snow?
