Bolivian Street Carnival

After a two and a half hour flight, The Significant Other and I safely arrived in Sevilla. What a change in weather. From snowy 1 degrees Nuremberg we arrived in sunny and summerly Southern Spain with 24 degrees. After checkin into the hotel conveniently situated in the old town near the Cathedral, we went out for some Tapas. Continuing our first walk through the alleys, we had the unexpected joy to stumble into the colorful parade of the Bolivian Street Carnival. Continue after the jump for more of this fun event…

The Bolivian carnival is a vibrant and colorful festival celebrated annually, it usually takes place in February or March. It is also celebrated by Bolivian communities around the world. The carnival is a mix of indigenous and Christian traditions and lasts for several days. It features music, dancing, parades, costumes, and street performances.

One of the main highlights of the carnival is the “diablada,” a dance that depicts the battle between good and evil, with participants wearing intricate devil costumes.

I hope your liked this little stroll through the Bolivian Street Carnival in Sevilla.
