Carnival in La Seu

In honour of the spring, let's make one article about saying Goodbye to winter in a really nice way.
The Carnival.

The Carnival is held every year in February. This festival has its origins in ancient feasts in honour of the winter, celebrating both Romans and Greeks. There are several explanations for the etymological meaning of the word carnival, from the end of eating meat, to the festivities in honour of Indo-European gods.

The carnival has become a festival full of colour and costumes where each person can embody the most colourful character. Normally, gives importance to the originality of the costumes, the more unusual the better. The carnival is celebrated in the street among people who are having diet restriction.

Apparently, for 40 days (exactly like for a Serbian Eastern ) until the arrival of Palm Sunday, you could not eat meat.

Carnival celebrations are held throughout the peninsula and has become a tradition passed from parent to child. Also in schools promote this festival making smaller disguise themselves from very early ages. As you can see on the photos! It was really a joy for me to see all those families with creative costumes walking on the street, singing and having fun. That day, I can say there was a lot of laughs sharing across the streets of La Seu.
