Carnival in the style of Catalonia, Northeastern Spain
Translated from Spanish. View the original post

#carnaval Carnival, also known in Catalonia as the “carnestoltes”, is a holiday celebrated on certain dates according to the lunar calendar. Exactly, Dijous Gras marks the beginning and is celebrated until Ash Wednesday, which marks the end of this holiday and the beginning of Lent.
It's a party of transgression and fun. People dress up, dance, sing, although depending on the municipality you can live in different ways.
With more than 250 years of history, it is the only one that continued to be held, openly but discreetly, during the first years of the Franco dictatorship in Spain.
