Carnival in Spain, don’t miss out on it!
Carnival is one of the most lively traditional festivals in Spain. Fancy dress parades are held in every town and city and it is one of the annual must-see events for children and adults alike. In some places, the parades incorporate the chirigotas, a group of musicians who prepare humorous choral songs. To end the carnival, the burial of the sardine is traditionally celebrated. It consists of a carnival parade that parodies a funeral procession and ends with the burning of a symbolic figure, usually representing a sardine.

Also called “Full Attention” or “Full Consciousness,” it is the ability to consciously pay attention to the present moment. In our day-to-day life, we are constantly attending to thoughts, obligations, routines and concerns.
