The carnival is a celebration that takes place immediately before the Christian Lent (which begins with Ash Wednesday), and has a variable date (between February and March depending on the year). Traditionally, it starts on a Thursday (Thursday, Thursday) and ends on the following Tuesday (Tuesday of Carnival). The carnival combines elements such as costumes, groups that sing couplets, parades and street parties. Despite the differences that its celebration presents in the world, its common characteristic is that of being a period of permissiveness and a certain lack of control. In its beginnings, probably with a certain sense of modesty characteristic of religion, the Carnival was a parade in which the participants wore costumes and wore masks. However, the custom was transforming the celebration to its current form.

One of the most important ingredients of the Carnival are the artistic and cultural groups that are prepared to participate in the parades. Since they are in charge of protecting the tangible and intangible heritage that infuses life to the parties, parades and festivals that make up the carnival.
