How are you? I hope you are fine.

I want to share you my holidays in my stay in the city of barranquilla, in their carnivals
which are a typical party of colombia, have something called precarnavales with the
reading of the side, it is given official start. This happens when the mayor of the
"Arenosa" handing over the keys to the city to the Carnival Queen, "giving up power"
for the duration of this party. With the official authorization, the Gay Carnival, the
Children and the famous Guacherna, the most important night parade of the
precarnavales, in which dance groups, cumbiambas, comparsas, disguises, and can
not Miss the queens that carry lights and lanterns. The carnival itself begins with the
Battle of Flowers that takes place on Vía 40 or Cumbiódromo where they pass: the
traditional parade of floats, queens, several orchestras, costumes and folk groups.
¡At the same time in the middle of the Abajo neighborhood, 50th street becomes a
track for those who want to dance to the sound of each one of the orchestras that
will be presented during three days on the stage that this show is mounted at no
cost, IT’S GREAT! Another of the parades that congregates crowds is "the Great
Parade of Tradition and Folklore" that takes place on the second day of Carnival. In
this opportunity only traditional folk groups, cumbiambas and comparsas are seen
that present the most popular dances such as the Devils Harlequin or Son de Negro,
