CarnivalLent is traditionally a time of fasting and denial, and Carnival
is the period before Lent to celebrate pleasures, extravagance and
indulgence with an abundance of feasting and dancing. Street
parades, float processions, and parties fill every street and plaza
in the city and revellers come dressed in rich costumes. A mock
funeral procession on Ash Wednesday marks the end of the
festivities. Event Date: 3 - 13 March 2012 Website: www.bcn.es/carnaval |
