Carnival is coming!!!
December 28th, 2006
As you should already know, Barcelona is a city that never stops! Now, we’re still celebrating Christmas and New Year…but at the same time, we’re looking for the next big party: THE CARNIVAL!!
In Barcelona, this party is very popular and most of the people celebrate it with a lot of enthusiasm. There are many places to go, for example, Gracia, Eixample or the Gothic quarter, are places where you should go. However, if you are planning to have a crazy crazy carnival party, you should go to Sitges! No doubt! This town located around 40 km south from Barcelona is known because of its amazing carnival party (Sitges is also known for many other things…). If you go there for these dates, you will find the town crowded of people dressed up in fancy dress, dancing and drinking in the streets and in the clubs and enjoying the atmosphere. You cannot imagine how massive this party is!!! People go crazy dancing and drinking while they follow the parade.
Obviously, we cannot compare Sitges carnival with Rio de Janeiro’s for example, but in fact, it is the most important one in Catalunya and one of the most important in Spain. If you are interested, the biggest days of the carnival are always on Friday, Sunday and Tuesday, and as you can imagine, the party goes on all night.
For example, last year, I ended the night swimming in the sea!…yes…in February!! This year I’ll go back to Sitges but I’m not sure I’ll go to the beach again
