After more than five decades of spreading joy in Motril, the Pro-Cabalgata de Reyes Magos association has announced its dissolution. The entity, responsible for organizing the traditional Three Kings' Parade, has decided to cease its activities due to "continuous administrative hurdles" and has made a final act of generosity by donating its funds and assets to various city organizations.

One of the main beneficiaries has been the Santa Ana Hospital of Motril, whose Pediatrics ward has been transformed. Thanks to the donation, 30 child-friendly vinyl stickers featuring animal motifs have been installed on corridors and room doors, creating a "warmer, more endearing, and emotionally friendly" environment for pediatric patients. The manager of the Southern Granada Health Management Area, Maximiliano Ocete, has expressed his "deep gratitude" for this selfless act.

In addition to the Pediatrics ward decoration, the donation has also funded the creation of a children's waiting room in the hospital's Rehabilitation service. This new space includes a play area and a reading corner with books and puzzles, designed to alleviate the anxiety children often feel before consultations or physiotherapy, speech therapy, or occupational therapy sessions.

The association, which has always prioritized the well-being of children, has left a lasting legacy at the healthcare center. Part of the funds raised over its more than 50 years of operation have also been donated to the Spanish Association Against Cancer, the 'Virgen de la Cabeza' Charitable Association, the Convent of the Nazarene Nuns of Motril, and the 'Aprosmo' Association for people with intellectual disabilities.

According to data from the Southern Health Management Area, the Pediatrics unit at Motril Hospital treated 479 pediatric patients and 124 neonates in 2025. The Rehabilitation service saw a total of 627 children last year and so far in 2026. These improvements are part of the Andalusian Public Health System's Humanization Plan, which aims to foster comfortable environments for both patients and healthcare professionals.
