Groups and clubs in costume accompanied the Pe\u00f1a La Cabra (the Goat Club) along the entire route, with much sorrow\u2026 or perhaps not so much. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An unstoppable carnival, which continues to overflow with joy and participation, even though we have already reached its midpoint.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This funeral procession, led by the King of Carnival, <strong>Seraf\u00edn Delgado<\/strong>, and one of the greatest carnival figures in our history, <strong>Octavio Mart\u00edn<\/strong>, also included the presence of carnival authorities: the Major Masks of 2025: <strong>Berna and Esther<\/strong>, and the Major Masks of 2026: <strong>Juan Carlos and Miguel Angel<\/strong>; in addition to other senior masks from previous years, the president of the Association of Clubs: <strong>Diego Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong>, and the Councilor for Culture and Festivities: <strong>Carmen Mar\u00eda Moh\u00edno<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As this unique burial concluded, the fire received the lifeless bodies of the unfortunate sardines. Shortly afterward, grilled sardines and <em>lemonade<\/em> were enjoyed at the traditional <strong>Pe\u00f1a<\/strong> <strong><\/strong> gathering place in Plaza Pradillo de Claver\u00eda. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">May our carnival sardine, symbol of celebration and shared joy, rest in peace. We bid her farewell with honors, amidst applause and smiles, knowing that her end is merely the harbinger of a new beginning. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Requiescat in pace\u2026 Until next year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-4k4ihx-984eb2f34eabd6b6851fad82c1880045 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_four_fifth  el_before_av_four_fifth
