The most important day is probably Shrove Tuesday (Martes de Carnaval), but throughout Carnaval there are fancy-dress parties, parades and firework displays. In some places in Spain, the changeover from Carnaval to Lent on Ash Wednesday is marked by the Entierro de la Sardina. This is a grotesque funeral parade in which the symbolic cardboard figure of a sardine is marched through the streets and finally ceremonially burnt or buried.* * *•• Cultural note:The three days of festivities preceding Lent, characterized by costumes, masks, drinking, music, and dancing.

* * *carnaval nm1. [fiesta] carnival2. Rel ShrovetideCARNAVALThe tradition of Carnaval, or Carnavales, continues in many parts of Spain and Latin America. The festival usually lasts between three days and a week, just before the beginning of Lent. In country areas the festivals are closely related to fertility rites, while in towns and cities they are more in the nature of spectacles and popular celebrations. The best-known carnivals in Spain are those of Cádiz and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and in Mexico that of Veracruz. In Spain carnivals end with the “burial of the sardine”, an ancient rite symbolizing the burial of worldly frivolity, on the Tuesday before the first day of Lent, Ash Wednesday.* * *m carnival* * *carnaval nm: carnival* * *carnaval n carnival -
