CARNIVAL: «ENTRUDO CHOCALHEIRO»

Carnival season is over but memories will keep the fun we had. I spent Shrove Tuesday in Podence, a little village in Trás-os-Montes. There the main attraction are the Caretos, roguish and mysterious creatures that wear curious garments and ornaments and come from nowhere in large noisy groups, causing fear, excitement and laughter. You can watch a small video of the Caretos here.

What about you? Did you do anything special for Carnival? Did you dress up? And wear a mask?
