The Spirit of the Churriego Carnival
The Spirit of the Miguelturra Carnival is kept alive in Balconies and Terraces
The streets of Miguelturra and especially Carnaval street, dress up for Carnival. The residents of the town keep the spirit of the Churriego carnival alive by dressing their balconies and terraces with costumes, not losing hope of returning next year with new illusions.
This Monday morning, we should have enjoyed the usual fruit-in-a-pan contest organized by the Peña Los Rocheros and in the afternoon, the street mask should have filled Carnival street with color and riot to the cry “of don’t you know me? “
Our friend Octavio also didn’t want to forget the situation we’re experiencing, and he did so with a little ditty, as is his custom.
He has titled it ‘The Virus of the Century’
This virus we have
isn’t just any virus
it’s ruined the carnival
and street masks.
You have to stay home
that’s the honest truth
it’s better to stay home
than to go to the hospital.
This year, gentlemen,
we can’t enjoy
eating the doughnuts
and drinking the lemonade.
There’s no need to be sad
and respect what they tell us
and next year
there will be a better Carnival.
Let’s see if it ends soon
this damn virus
the bars will open soon
without committing a crime.
Let’s all be cautious
‘according to Minister Illa’
when going out
wearing a mask.
We have to behave very well
for our own benefit
and be able to celebrate
next year’s Carnival with pride.
Men, women, and children
and everyone in general
must wear masks
during Carnival.
You have to visit the bars
that’s essential
they’ve been closed for many days
and they’re having a hard time.
And I bid you farewell
with tears in my eyes
and give a big hug
to all the pensioners.
