Carnival is the celebration where everything is allowed. We put on a mask, hide our true identity, and do everything we like but don't dare to do with our everyday selves.

 

Carnivals in Cádiz

 

And if anywhere in Spain this is well understood, it's in Cádiz, where they don't settle for just one day of celebration; rather, it's a whole week long celebration, from February 27th to March 9th in 2014, when choirs, chirigotas and comparsas take to the streets to tell society the truth, albeit in a humorous way and with a very special sense of humor.

 

This year, Urdangarin, princesses, Bárcenas, ministers, and the opposition will have their ironic rebuttal in the beautiful streets of Cádiz. No one will be left untouched. We won't miss it; there'll be time for Lent...
