TT05/10 Joana Antunes

Since I was young I started to like carnival. Already visited other carnivals but none was like the carnival in Torres Vedras, which is known by the most Portuguese carnival.
By tradition the carnival in torres vedras have many allegoric cars, the famous “matrafonas” (men’s dressed like woman’s) and the “cabeçudos” (big heads).
When carnival arrives everybody begins the 5 days party that includes many car parades.
The first day is marked by the student’s parade. The first day is marked by the student’s parade. In the second day all the people have the opportunity to participate in the night parade respecting the subject in that year.
In the third day we have the day parade with the official allegoric cars, in the fourth day the city council have is own allegoric car. And finally the fifth day that I call the resistant’s carnival day.

Have a nice Carnival,
