Carnival is a happy, friendly party that deserves to be enjoyed whether you like it or not you like to dress up, especially if you have kids at home! Meet the best carnivals 2019 on the Costa Brava!
Therefore, now that this great festival is approaching, I propose 3 places to enjoy Carnival on the Costa Brava in an intense and special way.
There are 3 different proposals since you can enjoy them one after the other if you like carnival a lot and want to extend it!
By dates, you will not have problems, so you do not have to choose any in particular, you can go to all!
In addition, in the three proposed sites if you go with your van or motorhome you can park it and stay overnight without problems. In each of the proposals I tell you the area or parking that you have available.
As a good Empurdanese, I know these festivals in the area well, and have been able to enjoy them on numerous occasions since I was little. I know you liked them.
Almost all municipalities celebrate carnival with their floats and troupes, but these 3 will not leave you indifferent!
1 The first proposal is to enjoy the most traditional and spectacular Carnival in Roses from February 28 to March 4.
Roses for many years has a strong carnival tradition, where numerous collas parade with impressive floats to the rhythm of their dances and shows, seeking to win their famous colles contest.
In addition Roses offers activities and shows for all ages throughout the carnival. From children's costume contests to first-rate night dances, where the party ends in the wee hours of the morning.
This year the programming is no less and as you can see, it comes well loaded.
The program is available on the official Roses Carnival website, where you can find all the detailed information: http://guiaderoses.net/tag/carnaval-a-roses-2019/
For parking and overnight stays in Roses you have several options and you can see them all at parking4night :
You have a private area with all services for around € 15 a night, which is great, but then there are multiple parking lots where you can park and stay overnight without any problems. Those who touch the area of El Mas Oliva are ideal for their situation and above or below you can park without problem. Beware that there is a street market in that area on Sunday, and you will not be able to park in the open parking lots that stop. On the other hand, the market is not bad, it is worth a visit.
2 The Carnival hangover in Tossa de Mar on March 16th with the AC Peques get-together.
A hangover that brings together the best groups from all over the Costa Brava in Tossa de Mar the week after celebrating carnival
An event you can't miss, and if you go with your little ones there's an AC Peques meet-up from AC Pasión ( http://www.acpasion.net/foro/showthread.php?133314-Grupo-AC-peques-Catalu%F1a/page7 ), so a great time is guaranteed!
The program is not yet finalized, but you will soon be able to find it at: http://www.tossademar.cat/carnaval2019/
To park in Tossa de Mar you have the following parking lots where you can also stay overnight in most. For us the best is the one at the entrance to Tossa, which is not far from the center and where there are no space problems and it is free.
3 The third proposal the Carnival of Carnivals of Catalonia : Carrousel Costa Brava of the spring festival of Palafrugell (mid-May).
This third proposal this year reaches its 57 editions. It is the most complete spectacle of the carnivals, where more than 35 of the best collas and floats in all of Catalonia each year parade in an incredible party and with thousands of visitors.
Without a doubt the carnival of carnivals in all of Catalonia.
To park and spend the night in Palafrugell, you mainly have a large parking lot at the entrance that is not central but since the nucleus of the municipality is not very large, there is no problem getting to the center:
These three suggestions are based on being able to enjoy them one after the other, but I also want to recommend the traditional Carnival of Platja d'Aro and that of Palamós , which together with that of Roses for me are among the best that we will have this first week of March Carnival.
Comment on any proposal and feel free to recommend your favorite Carnival below this post, surely many of you have other preferred and very legitimate municipalities 🙂 Among all we can make a good map of the Carnival 🙂
