Beyond the parades and the predetermined events, the carnival is very spontaneous. Every visitor can find himself in an open theater stage participate in a magnificent experience.
The only rule is that is no rule!!. The city residents and the visitors compete on the person who reaches the most bizarre appearance and who is dressed up with the most avant-garde mask.
The leading motto is displaying huge variety of masks and costumes made, for months or even years, by the participants and known artists.
