Carnival in Roses. The funniest and craziest time of the year – the carnival time – came to an end with a lot of noise, fun and cheerfulness.
Unfortunately, the weather gods were moody this year, if not at times, even miserly, which everyone danced out with serenity.
True to the motto “What you can’t change, you don’t have to upset” monsters, bushman, spiked head and golden man with Indians, devils and the beauty of the darkness nevertheless happily through the day into the night. We vowed to be back next year.
Carnival colorful and wet-happy at the Costa-Brava
Despite the Tramuntana and the cold night, the Costa Brava did a colorful carnival and merry day on the great days of the carnival.
In Roses you saw the beauty of the night and exotic worlds from dream worlds: witches and princesses – bullfighters and firefighters – punks and devils – Carmen and Don Juan – tigers and kittens – Romans and Sailors danced through the streets and alleys on Friday night.
There was no limit to the imagination. Car after car rolled past the spectators. The disco hits echoed far across the sea. The city’s loudspeakers fought in vain against the high-tech systems on the car. The boys and girls in the costumes warmed up with drinks and dance steps. Despite the freezing cold, the mood was splendid.
Platja d’Aro
In Platja d’Aro 67 groups with 4,000 costumed participants took part in the main parade through the city. The royal couple was bizarre. The party lasted two weeks. The whole hustle and bustle would be even nicer in summer temperatures. Why can’t carnival actually be postponed to mild summer nights?
