Carnaval en Conil
Carnaval or Carnival is the festive celebrations that occurs prior to the Holy Season of Lent and whereas Lent involves abstinence, fasting and sacrifice Carnaval is the complete opposite. The festival has its origins in pagan celebrations and has been adopted for Christians with Catholics and Orthodox Christians displaying most enthuasism and exuberance.
In Catholic Spain and South America Carnaval is an integral part of society and is celebrated with gusto and abandon that is a pleasure to witness. Cadiz city has one of the largest Carnavals in Spain but just down the road in Conil de la Frontera the Carnaval is every bit as good as elsewhere, just more local and intimate. Colour and exuberance mixed with copious doses of fun are the intoxicating mixture.
2020 will be remember as the Year of Covid, lockdowns , restrictions and all other manner of nastiness and we were fortunate to just barely get Carnaval in before the worst of the year came, even if it was only February.
