In Mallorca, the Carnival is also known as the Darrers dies (Last days), in reference to the arrival of the Christian Lent and with it, the prohibition to eat meat. It begins with the dijous gras, and extends throughout the weekend with concerts, dances and a disguised group parade. The most crowded ones are in Sa Rua, Sa Rueta and in Palma. (The one in Palma is a child’s one).
In Alcúdia Sa Rua it is celebrated on Sunday, February 19, with a parade of floats and troupes that starts from the church car park, with prizes for the best individual costumes and couples and floats and troupes. Children's animation by Astronautes estrellats.
