• The Battle of Don Carnal and Doña Cuaresma, at 8 PM in the Plaza de la Constitución:
  • Don Carnal and Doña Cuaresma went to seal a pact,
    one came with the party, the other came to pray.
    Each had their time, without dispute or reproach,
    respect between calendars, from dawn until night.
  • And who will tell this story, with rhythm and flair?
    Salsipuedes, yes indeed, a true collective:
    guardian of tradition, voice of the people and their memory,
    who at Carnival reminds us that life is pure history.
