The heralds of the neighborhoods spread joy and proclaim a necessary illusion, in addition to collecting one by one thousands of letters to collaborate discreetly – already against the clock – with the Three Wise Men, but the truth is that for some time these representatives … from the East have been tested, just as is the case with other groups that inspire the masses. sons of the citydemanding, as they do, great municipal attention in terms of security for a Seville calendar already very saturated in terms of events. The data is as follows: In Seville, eight heralds must go outincluding the official one, before setting foot on Sevillian soil after the Three Wise Men have dismounted from their camels.
The second of the heralds who patrolled the streets of Seville in this last part of the year was not spared by all this, that of Los Remedios, next to the neighborhood of Triana, which, on the afternoon of this Monday, December 29, saw its parade take place normally with more than 1,200 Bedouins in its ranks and up to three music groupsaffecting not only traffic but also the organization of the local police to guarantee the safety of both those who were part of the procession and those who were present to view the bulls from the barrier. Also animals that were part of this same image.
Three disyoqueis and up to forty young people dancing in the middle of the street, they completed the aforementioned procession, completely cutting off the streets from their route in this area of the city, and once again putting in place control services like those of security offered by organizations like those of the Local Police, especially after the tense conflict of negotiation which was produced for weeks thanks to productivity payment. As if that were not enough, the long entourages of these royal messengers forced the diversion of bus lines from Tussam, like those that were affected during the last herald out, that of Remedios.
We have been able to see for another year, and it has been five, how this neighborhood full of life has turned towards this emissary who maintains a direct line with Their Majesties, but these processions have been divided according to the fact that the neighborhoods are not to everyone’s taste, and not for lack of enthusiasm, but by the real capacity of the capital to accommodate every few days, and some days several at a time, in these parades which are becoming more and more numerous.
This is what is underlined by both the inhabitants of the Seville capital and those responsible for the great parade of the Three Kings, such as the president of the Ateneo, Emilio Boja, who affirms not being a fan of this oversupply of Heralds that whatever it represents for the seams of Seville, they also draw attention to the Royal Herald of January 5th next, the eve of the arrival of Their Majesties.
Seven heralds and the Royal Herald, before kings
Last Sunday Nervión took place, which also brought together many participants from this area of Seville. And this Monday, it was the turn of the Heraldo de Los Remedios, blocked for a good part of the afternoon. basic traffic routes in the neighborhood as well as for pedestrians who wanted to go to the points for other reasons.
On Friday, January 2, two emissaries will land in Alcosa Park and in eastern Seville, and on Saturday, January 3, the Herald of the Future will go there to spend about three hours collecting letters and throwing candy on this frenetic day that will already be close to the big parade.
They will also take advantage of the Macarena district on Saturday 3 to do the same in the afternoon. A day after the Herald of Triana did it, in its case on Friday 2, so that in total, up to seven heralds They will be the ones who continue to collect letters from children from the different neighborhoods before it is the official, the Royal Herald of Seville, who will be the eighth, who, on Sunday January 4, will travel through many streets of the old town of the city before the arrival, now, of Melchior, Gaspar and Baltasar.
