For yet another year, and despite the restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, Their Majesties did not want to miss their annual appointment with the boys and girls of Cartagena, which they have adapted to the current situation. Thus, this Monday they arrived in the city, where they have been received by the mayor, Ana Bel n Castej n; the vice mayor, Noelia Arroyo; the deputy mayor, Manuel Pad n; the councilor of V a P blica and Festejos, Juan Pedro Torralba; and the Councilor for Culture, Youth and Equality, David Mart nez Noguera . After this reception, the municipal officials have accompanied Their Majesties to the premises set up by the Cartagena City Council on the Muralla del Mar Campus to receive the children and families who will visit them this Monday and Tuesday in the enclosure that will have special lighting and different atmospheres and Christmas-themed stations. Access to these facilities, which can be entered by appointment, will be through Adarve de Artiller a street, at the corner of Rosario Juaneda street, next to the monument to the Eagle Patrol.

In this sense, the mayor has asked the people of Cartagena responsibility during accesses and visits, so that all health security measures are respected, and that, as far as possible, a single adult is who accompanies the children, so that the capacity is not exceeded. Last week, the City Council enabled an online system through the municipal website to request prior appointments, an essential requirement to enjoy this activity.

"This year the children of Cartagena have shown exemplary behavior and with this initiative they will be able to see the Three Wise Men closely and make their requests, maintaining all health security measures," said the mayor.
