Sardines / Sardinas

If you have a sardine, don´t forget to bury it today.

Lourdes of Bach. 2C sends us these photos of the Burial of the Sardine in her town, Littlewell. She looked about for Nuño, but he seems to have left by the time she got there.




Here´s what Lourdes has to say about Carnival in Pozuelo:

This party in my town is celebrated during a whole week:

- We began to party on Friday with a parade of Brazilian ladies. At night, people dressed in the fashion of the 60s, 70s and 80s.
- On Saturday night, there was a dance at the Carnival Palace.
- On Sunday and Monday there were more parades. different groups, such as The Housewives, paraded in the streets. Masked people on their own wandered everywhere about, some playing jokes.
- On Tuesday was the children´s party. There were many children in costume, parading to the Carnival Palace, where they had a party with a circus and sweets. Wednesday in the afternoon we dressed up in mourning to accompany the sardine in the traditional Burial of the Sardine. We ended up at the huge tent which is the Carnival Palace where we ate sardines.
- On Friday there was a Rock parade and at night a concert.
-Saturday was the last day and my town was full of people because this is the great day of the carnival in Pozuelo.
