Mollet del Vallès Carnival: Ball del Barraló, Rua and Juicio del Carnestoltes
Once again the long-awaited Carnival arrives in Mollet del Vallès!
The festival begins with the Ball del Barraló, a crazy dance, in which the dancers are adorned with skirts, scarves, masks, straw hats, bells and other festive elements. To spread the festivities, everyone is asked to wear a hat and the dance is taught in the city's schools.
With this dance, Mollet recovers an ancient tradition: a dance in which men dressed as women and women could decide their dance partner.
The Rúa de Carnaval, with more than a thousand people and dozens of floats, is the most important in the region. It is celebrated on Sunday afternoon.
At night, the Carnival is judged with a public spectacle in the square. The Carnival Judgment show has different parts and original music. All the characters of the Molletano Carnival have costumes, masks and lives of their own.
The burial of the sardine, on Ash Wednesday, puts an end to Carnival and begins Lent.
We will wait for you!
