Befana’s coming in Vigo!
The "Befana" comes at night in worn out shoes and leaves tasty treats for the most deserving children
The "Befana" is a peculiar character in Italy, less known in other countries, that according to the tradition, is a sweet old lady who flies on a threadbare broom to visit children in the night between January 5 and 6 - the so called "Epiphany", twelth night after Christmas - and top fill their stockings, hung by the chimney or beside the window. According to the legend, children who have been good during the year receive delicacies, candies, dried fruit or small toys while those who have been naughty will only find some coal. On 5 January, the "Befana" will also arrive in the square in front of the tourist office in Vigo to the delight of the little ones, bringing many special presents.
