Carnival is a ten-day period of fun and eating, prior to fifty days of fasting, before Easter. During the first week called Meat Week, it is allowed to eat meat, whereas during the second week known as Cheese Week, only cheese and other dairy products are consumed. Carnival festivities begin on Thursday of the Meat Week. Carnival parades and fancy –dress balls are very popular. For further details see beyond each town.
