People from Solsona (Central Catalonia) celebrating Carnival.

In this city, one of the main traditions for the Carnival festivity is the silly version of giants and "big-heads". In other Catalan festivities like festa major and Corpus, there are elegant giants and silly "big-head" figures that dance on the streets. Following the spirit of Carnival, which is to make fun of everything, the giants and "big-heads" that dance for Carnival are made to be caricaturesque.

Carnaval de Barranquilla, ¡quien lo vive es quien lo goza!

Some photos I took on a trip to this amazing festivity.

I wanted to share my city's winter festival. They have ice sculptures from around the world, art installations, and drag (!) What with all the hate these days it really did make me feel proud of how far my country has come.

Photos: burial of the sardine in Granollers (Barcelona Metropolitan Ambit, Catalonia). From granollers.cat.

Today is the Burial of the Sardine, the last day of the Carnival week that marks the beginning of Lent.

King Carnestoltes (the king of Carnival) dies of partying so much and is carried around town by a funeral procession. The procession can be a bit different from town to town, but generally involves the following. A marching band plays the funeral march while people gather to fake-cry loudly in an exaggerated manner. Then, the king Carnestoltes gives his final speech, as always full of humour and impudent references. Then, he dies, officially signaling the end of Carnival and the beginning of Lent. In lots of towns, there is one last Carnival communal meal, with sardines or coques.

In some places, the king of Carnival is sent to a trial where he is judged for all the misbehaving that the inhabitants did during his rule, and then is sentenced. In other places, a woman dressed as Vella Quaresma ("Old Lady Lent", the personification of Lent in Catalan culture) takes his place as ruler for the next period.
