Carnival

**For carnivals we have a week of holidays. In this week we have different events.**
===**The most important event is the “Coso”. It consists of a huge parade where we go dance behind a big bus without roof, and the people dress up as what they want: heroes, animals, cartoons, profession (like firefighter, policeman/women, doctor, mechanic, footballer…) and the most common costume is when boys dress up as women.**=== ===**Then we have the party of “mascarita ponte tacón”. It consists of men dressed up as women and with high heels, then they must participate in a race that consists of different heights to jump… It is really difficult for men but also funny.**=== ===**Also, to finish this funny celebration we build a big sardine and we burn it and the men dress up as women again but this time they are widows and shout and cry because the sardine represents the end of carnivals and and finally it dies burnt.**=== ===** One more popular tradition is the competition between different groups of people, that sing happy and funny songs, laughing about famous people, like footballers, models, political members, singers, and others. These groups are called "Murgas", some of them are "Los Bambones", "Los TrikiTrakes", "Los FrkiWikis" so on... **=== ===** One of the biggest events in the carnival, is the queen gala, where some girl wear big and colourful dresses, and they compete to be the winner. It is a very difficult job, because their dresses are very heavy, they must be very strong to win! **===
