Madrid Carnival
Madrid, Spain, Feb 2011 (annual)
After fancy-dress competitions and parties across the capital, Madrid's Carnival celebrations culminate on Ash Wednesday with the Entierro de La Sardina, translated as the Burial of the Sardine. This tongue-in-cheek ritual, led by costumed locals, marks the start of Lent.
