Cadiz Carnival
Spain prides itself on being the carnival capital of Europe, and there is no better example of this than the fabulous Cadiz Carnival, which takes to the streets between January 31st and February 10th each year.
As one of Spain´s major ports in the 16th century, Cadiz enjoyed strong trade links with Venice, and copied the city´s carnival theme to recreate in Spain.
This colourful and flamboyant street party winds its way through the centre of the city and has become famous for its entertaining and original figurines, pilgrimages and satirical musicians who take part in the procession. Many revellers wear costumes and masks or paint their faces with lipstick before taking to the streets.
Entrance:. Free.
Opening hours: 31st January – 10th February, annually. All Day.
Getting there: Nearest airport is Jerez, approximately 15 miles from Cadiz. Take bus, train or car to the centre of Cadiz.
