Carnaval 2011 Entierro de Chanquete

The end of the Carnaval. The end of the festivities. Appropriate then that the revellers mourn its passing. This is done by the burial of the sardine.


The Sardine is prepared for the procession.


Like the main carnaval procession, there are prizes on offer. One of those up for grabs is for the best "doliente". The person grieving the most for the passing of the sardine! Hence, most of the people joining the walk are dressed in black and shedding many a tear.


You can't have a decent procession through the streets of Nerja without the band.


Colourful dolientes.



Chanquete 2011 RIP!
