For
every
weekend during one
month of every year, we
celebrate Carnaval. It begins in
February and it is a little different in
each city because there are different
colors and costumes in the different regions.
Some of the costumes are handmade and
there are many wearing masks. People walk
on the streets, there is music and it’s a show.
They decorate the cars and themselves. The
people dance and parade on the streets.
The groups travel and perform with Roba
la Galina and the devil. People use a
ball, vejigas, to hit people and also
a sword. Carnaval is celebrated
40 days before Easter.
