We love Carnaval here in Spain in our 15th century village as well where it all began. Here festivals are an important part of creating community and every one participates from the youngest baby to the oldest grandparent. I love that! Hard to resist the joy in the drums and costumes! Not as wild as Rio or Madrid, but very special none the less in a tiny village of 1000 people when everyone you know is taking part or watching! ” target=”_blank”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zfmij3TyIkU BTW, big congrats Lola!
