Festivals
and Holidays: "Carnaval time in Spain" |
Las fiestas de Carnaval in Spain depend on the liturgical calendar, as in the
rest of the world, usually taking place sometime during the
month of February and centering around the week before Ash
Wednesday. Although not as famous or televised in the world as
the celebrations in Rio, Venice or New Orleans, Carnival time is
one of Spain’s main popular festivities which is celebrated
nationwide with street parades, costumes, beauty pageants, music
and masks.
