Carnival: Burial of the Sardine

The Burial of the Sardine in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a celebration that marks the end of the Carnival, characterized by a festive parade that parodies a funeral procession. During the event, a large sardine figure is carried through the streets, accompanied by colorful costumes and an atmosphere of joy and satire. The celebration culminates in the burning of the sardine, symbolizing the farewell to the excesses of the carnival and the arrival of Lent, all set in a context of music and fun that reflects the transgressive spirit of Canarian Carnival.
