This annual Lenten event begins with a wild tortilla competition, starting the frenzy of holiday celebration. The aroma of spicy meats and sizzling sausages fill the air as the streets fill with carnival goers. To really enjoy the event, visitors should dress in costume. Restaurants and bars also get into the festivities as well. The end of the carnival is punctuated with a mock funeral, but no one pretends to be sad. Admission to the event is free.
