It was something pending on my list and I did not want to wait any longer. As the Carnival of Cádiz is one of the most famous in Spain, I had to go there and explore the entire city to experience all that was going on during Carnival.
Unlike most carnivals, focus on the showiness of the costumes, the imaginative attire is which people in Cádiz give more importance to. However, the main attraction of this carnival is the criticism, parody, and sarcasm involving the city during these days.
The Festival of Carthaginians and Romans is held in the city of Cartagena, located on the Spanish southeastern coast.
In the second fortnight of September, important events that happened more than 2000 years ago are re-enacted.
This year 2020 from September 18 to 27
Every first Sunday in August (August 2nd, 2020), a Viking invasion is recreated in Catoira town, north-western Spain. The historic Viking Landing took place over a thousand years ago; this is the main event of the Viking Festival of Catoira.
The Procession of “Las Turbas”, as the “Camino al Calvario” (The Road to Calvary) is popularly known, takes place on Good Friday (April 10, 2020)
It is the most emblematic procession of the Holy Week of Cuenca as it is the only one on which the “turbas”(mob) take part in a procession. The “turbos”, as the members are known, recreate with bugles and drums the mockery Jesus was subjected to on the way to the crucifixion.
