Every year in Spain, each town has their own Carnival week where there are lots of parades, lots of partying, lots of food and lots of drink. This usually happens a week or two before the beginning of lent as is where people indulge before they fast for lent.
Tonight we are off to Velez Blanco for the parade. It's an early parade, starts about 7pm (ish) but we're going through a little earlier as it will be really busy and parking could be a problem as Velez Blanco has such narrow streets.
All being well, I'll have some stories and some photos to post tomorrow. Now, I'm off to dress very warmly as the nights are still very cold and we'll be stood about outside for quite some time.
Our own Carnival starts next week, so more partying and more eating & drinking. Life can be really tough at times!
