The Burial of the Sardine and the end of Carnival! What to do tonight in Madrid, Alicante, Tenerife | The Burial of the Sardine and the end of Carnival! The Burial of the Sardine and the end of Carnival!

Today Carnival ends, but the crazy costumes are not packed away yet! There is one more celebration to mark the end of Carnival’s indulgences – El Entierro de la Sardina (Burial of the Sardines). If you are studying Spanish with us in Spain or just happen to be in one of our destinations tonight, we highly recommend you check out the festivities! Here are a few of the best celebrations and where to find them.

Madrid

Tonight at 6pm the famous Giants and Big-heads parade begins from San Antonio de la Florida, where the people walk along the river Manzanares and finally bury the tiny fish in its tiny coffin near the Fuente de los Parjaritos (Fountain of the Birds) at approximately 8:30pm. Aside from the fake-somber (it’s actually very fun) funeral procession, there is also a lively parade trailing behind, complete with gigantes and cabezudos (giants and big-heads).

Alicante

The funeral begins at 9pm at the Plaza Santa Teresa and ends at Plaza del Carmen, where the poor fish is burned and people dance in the plaza. If you want to see the procession, it passes by the following sites: Panteón de Quijano, Plaza España,Calderón de la Barca,Tomás López Torregrosa, Duque de Zaragoza, Plaza Ruperto Chapí, Calle del Teatro, Bazán, Gerona, Rambla Méndez Núñez, Miguel Soler, San Nicolás, Abad Nájera and finally, Plaza del Carmen.

Tenerife

Head to Calle Juan Pablo II in Santa Cruz at 9pm to watch the Burial of the Sardine. Join the hysteria as a loud trail of mourners, pregnant men and widows follow behind an oversized fake sardine on a thrown. It is quite a spectacle with all of the townspeople crying out for the sardine – or perhaps the end of Carnival.

Most towns in Spain have some version of this corky festival, so regardless of where you might be in Spain don’t miss out on the festivities, hilarious role-playing and public displays of hysteria!

Hoewel ik al een aantal jaar docent Spaans in mijn eigen land ben, heeft de Spanish Teacher’s Training bij don Quijote me toch veel tips en technieken meegegeven waarvan ik weet dat ze nuttig zullen zijn in de lessen. Ik had de kans om een van de docenten bij diverse lessen te observeren en om te zien hoe hij zijn manier van lesgeven aanpaste, aan de hand van de niveaus van de studenten en zelfs hun nationaliteiten. Het delen van deze ervaringen was zeker een verrijking voor mijn professionele ontwikkeling. Ik vond het ook erg leuk om in het centrum van Madrid te wonen en de kans te hebben om mijn Spaans te oefenen in allerlei dagelijkse situaties.
 

Anna (Madrid)

Ik ben docent Spaans geworden, omdat zowel de taal als de cultuur me al sinds kleins af aan aanspreekt en omdat lesgeven altijd al mijn roeping is geweest. Regelmatig ben ik op zoek naar nieuwe manieren om mijn passie voor Spaans te delen met mijn studenten en toen ik achter de Spanish Teacher’s Training bij don Quijote kwam, twijfelde ik geen moment. Ik heb veel geleerd van hun methodologie en de cursus heeft me een stuk zekerder gemaakt, in zowel het beantwoorden van vragen van mijn vergevorderde leerlingen als in het vinden van manieren om de studenten die minder snel vooruitgaan te motiveren. Mijn tijd in Salamanca heeft me daarnaast de kans gegeven om een stad vol geschiedenis en cultuur te leren kennen én mijn Spaanse accent te verbeteren.
