Andorra's Three Kings Parades and Record Ski Season Thrill Despite Cold

Helena Anillo, a local commentator, shared new observations following Andorra's Three Kings' cavalcades on 6 January 2026, amid cold weather that threatened to disrupt the events.

In her initial remarks published that morning, Anillo noted the parades' familiar traffic delays and transport adjustments in parishes such as Escaldes-Engordany and Andorra la Vella. She highlighted how crowds drawn by the Magi turned congestion into festive excitement. She also mentioned steady or slightly higher prices for *tortells de Reis* this year compared to 2025, adding that she had already ordered a *clatellot* topping from her bakery.

The following day, on 7 January, Anillo turned to the ski resorts' performance over the holiday period. She reported a record-breaking Christmas season, with 336,000 lift accesses across the stations—the best in six years. In a separate comment, she suggested updates to Andorra's coat of arms.

Authorities managed the cavalcades through routine coordination with transport operators, with no major incidents despite forecasts of sharp temperature drops that risked icing roads and parade routes. Events went ahead as scheduled, reflecting residents' enthusiasm for the annual *Reis d'Orient* tradition alongside practical accommodations for mobility challenges.
