Carnival in Segovia


Carnival is a big deal in Spain.  Kids get off of school for the week, and spend a lot of time running around outside in costumes.  Tuesday night is when the adults all dress up.  We went to watch the parade through town; people dress up in groups and walk the parade route together, with mini bands dispersed throughout the line.  From what I heard, the real festivities are Wednesday night, but I was working and couldn't go to that one.  However, Tuesday's parade was a lot of fun.  



Yup, that's a clown playing the trombone. 



A line of people dressed as flower pots, holding hands and running around.



This group is a political group that's protesting cuts to education and healthcare.  We've seen them protesting around town before.
