The couple "Man of the Midnight" and "The Woman of the Day" are the hosts in Alto da Sé.

The carnival here has already begun and in every city the carnival previews follow until the end of February. Yes, the carnival is only in the last week of February, but here the people and the orchestras of frevo have already started the revelry and during all the week it is only you to arrive in Alto da Sé in the city of Olinda or in the cities of the Old Recife that the people are there filling the squares around the frevo orchestras dancing, sipping their beer and enjoying their family and friends. The carnival here, first of all, is a party for families.

Yesterday I went to Alto da Sé in Olinda. This is the "point" when it comes to carnival parties. Alto da Sé is the highest point in the city of Olinda, a city close to Recife, and is so close that from there it is possible to see Recife up there altogether.

But because it is the highest point of the city of Olinda, don't think that it is easy to get there, we have a slope of about 300 meters of extension to climb. It is not easy, I got there almost "dead", not to mention that the sun very hot for a severe summer that we are passing here, I was with my shirt quite sweaty. For those who enjoy exercising, it's a wonder.

La Ursa encourages revelers dancing on the hills of Olinda.

Arriving in Alto da Sé is visible the carnival party atmosphere. Beautiful people walk back and forth with their groups of friends, family and several are tourists from all over Brazil and the world that comes here to see the beauties of Olinda and Recife carnival.

This post is one of several that will follow by the end of February about the carnival celebrations that will happen here. I hope that I can pass on to you all this atmosphere of celebration and joy that invades the place that I live.

Cool - today is THE crazy Woman day in German carnival, just posted about it. Men hide your ties lol

Enjoy your carnival! Even at the top of the hill, you must be cooler than La Ursa, in that wooly suit! :O Have fun all February!

I don't know if we will participate in Carnival this year. I love how Panama City, Panama empties and everyone goes to the small towns to party. It will be the perfect opportunity to go out and take pictures!

Hello @hilarski :) I don't know the carnival of Panama, but it must be very beautiful. I love carnival, it's a party where our joy goes to very high levels and we forget the problems of the day to day.

SO beautiful ! One of those places I didn't visit yet .
