What it is

Carnaval de Cádiz explained

Spain's sharpest satirical carnival: chirigotas and comparsas sing biting political verses in the Falla theatre contest and, better still, illegally in the streets of La Viña and El Pópulo.

Dates can shift by a day or two when a local council moves the programme to a weekend, so confirm with the town hall before booking non-refundable travel. Accommodation in Cádiz tends to sell out weeks ahead of the festival and prices rise sharply on the main night.
