We asked to our friends from around the world about their carnivals: Barcelona, Canarias, Cádiz… Of course, all of them,as Mediterranian carnivals, impressive parties!

 

I believe that exist so many carnivals as people and in every town or city will live and enjoy in a diferent way, but this one in particular, as I mentioned before, Sitges! This year will be 4 February to 10 February. The sitgetans go out to live the Carnival, where imagination and fun monopolize all the public attention. During these days the town becomes a stage characterized essentially by debauchery and joy, but always in the way of being and doing the sitgetans, as civic and educated citizens who are.

 

During the days of Carnival in Sitges city it is governed by Rei Carnesto carnaval2005-2LTEs, the King of the “insolents” (pocavergüenzas), with the presence and collaboration of the Queen of Carnival, to spread an atmosphere of celebration and debauchery in the dozens of social and cultural events in different “Xatonades” (typical dish of the region) celebrating the entities of the people, and in the streets with thousands of costumes, reaching its most important moment with parades ” Disbauxa “and” Extermini “.
