The annual Carnavales de Cádiz (a beautiful city on the Atlantic Ocean) are world famous parties. It lasts for a full week, of tons and tons of people dressed up in CRAZY awesome costumes! And there are stages in every plaza where various "chiringotas" perform-- groups of spaniards dressed up in the same ridiculous costumes, singing songs of political satire, etc.
We left Saturday morning on a bus at 9 am, and got to Cádiz around 2pm. We had all day to explore around the city, walk through some pretty parks, and see the gorgeous ocean! So nice to see that again, I missed it!
One of my favorite things about our time at Carnaval was seeing all the different ages of people. There were families with kids decked out in adorable costumes from dinosaurs to pirates to the one cute little boy dressed up as the old man from the pixar movie Up! And then at the same time there were lots of older adults, also wearing costumes! So all generations.
Once nightfall started coming, all the university aged people took over. Swarms and INSANE crowds of people. Check out the pictures!
