4 reviews of Villagarcia of Arousa Festival

Many activities

The Villagarcia de Arosa Carnival held every year beginning on a Saturday and ending 7 days later on the Saturday called Piñata. Throughout there are activities to entertain and amuse people of the town and visitors such as costume contests, competitions and parades of the Burial of the Sardine, tasting of typical desserts such as Carnival the pancakes, etc. The festival has Catholic roots, although religion is now no longer associated with this event. Villagarcía Carnival is very hard popular and many establishments close their doors on Shrove Tuesday to enjoy the festival. One of the acts is the Burial of the Sardine, which is a parody of a funeral procession, in which the neighbors accompany the "deceased" sardine praying and crying.
