The Burial of the Sardine

The Burial of the Sardine is an event that marks the closing of the Carnival in Puerto del Rosario, celebrated with a festive parade that parodies a funeral procession. During this colorful celebration, participants dress in elaborate costumes and march in an atmosphere of joy and satire. The culmination of the event comes with the burning of a symbolic figure, which usually represents a sardine, in an act that symbolizes the end of the festivities and a farewell to the excesses of the carnival. This ritual, filled with humor and tradition, invites the community to reflect on the celebration and enjoy one last day of fun before the arrival of Lent.
