!!CARNIVAL!! 🥳🤹♀️🎉🎭🎡🎶🍾
February is Carnival month across Spain when cities come alive in an explosion of vibrant colours, unbridled fun, and breathtaking costumes.
It’s that time of year again folks. Think of Carnival and most likely Venice, Rio de Janeiro, and Tenerife come to mind. But in fact, many countries of Roman Catholic inclination celebrate this fun, exuberant and colourful festival. Feathers, sequins, headdresses, gravity-defying breasts, and drag queens aren’t commonly associated with the Catholic Church (except perhaps behind closed doors) but this pre-Lenten Catholic tradition was/is the last chance to let loose before the 14 days of abstinence and self-discipline preceding Easter.
Adults like a good dress-up as much as any kid, and many cities around Spain don the wigs, face paint, and fancy dress every February. However, there are a few places that stand out as exceptional carnivals worth witnessing at least once in your life.
