In some parts of Spain, the week leading up to lent is called "Carnaval." It is a time for wild partying and cities such as Cadiz, the Canary Islands and Sitges are home to the biggest festivals and celebrations. Málaga has a celebration agenda of its own. This past weekend there were parades during the day and at night. Many people were dressed up in crazy costumes- children as lady bugs, men as soldiers and women as what seemed like Amish people? They marched along calle Nueva during the day and at night calle Larios and calle Granada were completely packed. To read more about the origins of Carnaval click here.
