El Dia de los Reyes corresponds to Twelfth Night/Epiphany, i.e. 6th of January.

It means The Day of the Kings, because traditionally in Spain and Latin America, The Three Kings'/Wise Men's adoration of Jesus is celebrated on that day, sometimes with formal celebrations, but also e.g. the giving of sweets or presents to children (a la Santa Claus, but publicly rather than domestically, and on 6 January, not 24/25 December)) by three men in gorgeous robes representing the Three Kings.

El Dia de los Reyes, also known as Three Kings Day, is a Christian holiday celebrated on January 6th. It honors the biblical story of the Three Wise Men visiting the infant Jesus. In many Latin American countries, it is a day of gift-giving and festive celebrations, marking the end of the Christmas season.
