Carnival in Lisboa

Although the Carnival celebrates the “Entrudo” (ancient tradition to disguise of monster and scare the winter bad spirits away), with the weather that we been having i still sigh for warmer and dryer days. And about the current month here goes the Old Portuguese proverb:

Março Marçagão, manhã de Inverno tarde de verão. (March Big March, in the morning is winter in the afternoon is summer)

Perfect weather to take a lighter new, just bought, coat and return home at night with a cold, or take warm clothes and sweat all day at work. HEI! Too much writing about weather…

…back to Carnival…

When I was a child I loved this celebration, after i was some years disliking it, but in the last ones, amazingly, i recovered the taste again for the fun of that special Tuesday.

This year was in Bairro Alto, Lisbon. There weren’t train dances with popular music, and there were no watching samba parades on the streets, but the environment in Velvet Bar was fantastic! Some lost frames from the Carnival of this year:

I introduce you to Filipe Sinatra, private detective and amateur singer:



The women were wild with the caracter and the Old Spice smell:
