3. Tradition of the King Cake
• The Tortell de Reis is traditional in Catalonia on
Epiphany Day (6th of January). We have a meal
with our family.
• In the cake there are some figures and the
bean. One of the figures is a King another a
bean.
• The tradition tells: If you find the figure of the
King, the paper crown is yours. If you find the
bean, the next year you must pay the cake.
