A special meal (Collaborative Writing A1)

Roscón de reyes


A special kind of doughnut that people eat on January the fifth to celebrate the Three Magicians, who bring presents to children. It is a typical festivity in Spain. The families and friends meet for dinner. The doughnut is filled with cream, chocolate and includes the "faba", a big bean, and the "king", a figure of one of the three magicians. The person that takes the faba pays for the doughnut. There is also a paper crown for the king. People usually drink, sing, dance and have fun, and some people get drunk.
