El carnaval de Olinda es famoso mundialmente, aunque tal vez no tanto como el de Río de Janeiro. Llegué una semana antes sin saber lo que me esperaba: mucha gente en las calles disfrazada y divirtiendose a lo grande. ¡Una semana antes ya hay mucho movimiento y la gente lo vive intensamente! Con la mochila a cuesta nos abrimos camino entre la gente buscando orientarnos en esa maraña de callecitas que suben y bajan. Con la ayuda de nuestra infaltable guía Lonely Planet encontramos una posada donde fuimos informados que por esa semana había lugar pero cuando comenzara carnaval teníamos que irnos. Tiramos las mochilas en el suelo y rapidamente nos unimos a la fiesta de las calles usando nuestras respectivas "máscaras" para no ser menos :)
The Carnival of Olinda is famous worldwide, but perhaps not as much as Rio de Janeiro. I arrived a week before not knowing what to expect: lots of people in the streets dressing fancy dress and having fun. A week before there is much movement and people live it intensely! Carrying our backpack and trying to find our way among the people in those narrow streets running up and down. With the help of our always present Lonely Planet we found an inn where we were informed that there was a room for that week but when Carnival comes we have to leave. We threw the bags on the floor and quickly joined the party at the streets wearing our respective "masks" for not being less than others :)
He aquí algunas imágines de lo que vimos ese día.
Here there are some images of what we saw that day.
La fiesta duró todo el día y parte de la noche.
The party lasted all day and in the night too.
¡Si vamos al carnaval de Olinda vale la pena llegar una semana antes!
If we go to Olinda Carnival worth arriving a week earlier!
