The festival is noted for humor, parodies and costumes in the streets

of Spanish towns and cities which all have their own traditions.

Many tourists visit Spain for

the carnival festival.

Regions across Spain organise carnivals and fiestas

most involving music and dancing.

Spanish people dress in colourful traditional

costumes and take to the streets to celebrate the season.
