Since Sunday, January 26, Manolo and Mª Carmen, who will be the major masks for Carnival 2020, have been members of the Major Masks Association.

As tradition dictates, the previous senior masks welcomed the new ones and celebrated with a mini-party in their honor, complete with the traditional hot chocolate that usually accompanies this event.

Next Saturday, February 22nd, Manolo and Mª Carmen will receive the affection of the people of Miguelturra and will officially be named the Major Masks of the 2020 Carnival. Today they have received it from their colleagues, who will serve as their guide during the ten days that the churriego carnival lasts.

Manolo, born in Miguelturra in 1962, is a mechanic and driver. During Carnival, he has always enjoyed wearing a mask on the streets, participating in the first piñata parade in 1980 with Los Currantes.

Mª Carmen was born in Puertollano in 1965. Her family moved to our town when she was very young. She works at a large retailer. She belonged to the now-defunct Peña la Chambra from its inception and currently belongs to Peña Los Rocheros.

Manolo and Mª Carmen have a daughter, who is also very fond of carnival.

Congratulations.
