Carnival in Cadiz, February 16 till 26, 2012

This Carnival is one of the oldest ones in Spain and the biggest one on the mainland.
The carnival celebrations in Cadiz date back to the 16th century. It was the only carnival Franco could not ban in his 40 years of dictatorship.
The Cadiz carnival of this year lasts from February 16th till February 26th, but preparations have started long way before. Also in the theatre Manuel de Falla the yearly contest of the different groups: comparsas, chirigotas and cuartetos have started already in january.
This years surprise is this group with humourous  songs in a kind of italian language. See and enjoy!

Group: la Sereníssima
