The pestiñada

Here in my city, happens the most important feast of the year called Carnaval (Mardi Gras). During these two weeks, Cadiz turns into a colorful city, with many people disguised and singing carnival songs all around the city. These groups of people are generally called "chirigotas", and they sing about events that have happened lately both in the city and the country. They are very funny, although sometimes they become serious when they criticize spanish politicians or some awful situations of life.

How do you enjoy carnaval in your city??
