- 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.
