The night before the Hipica (see earlier post on 11/4/13) and as part of the celebrations for the immaculate conception of Mary, Granada hosts its very own carnaval/carnival. It involves a large parade with lots of costumes and music, lots of dancing, lots of food and drink vendors set up in the central park and streets, and lots of people (mostly drunk). While fairly small in scale, it was really a lot of fun and the costumes and dancing were actually quite good. We were also pleasantly surprised to see Granada's gay community very well represented and accepted. It was a blast.
