Does anybody know the dates for carnival this year, i am going out on tuesday the 30 till feb 13 and was hoping to get to see some of it??

Unfortunately you will just miss carnaval. Ash Wednesday is February 21st and Carnaval run from February 15-25. Maybe next year.

Isn't that a kick-in-the-head, edel? That's like unknowingly going to Pamplona and leaving two days before the big Fiesta of the "Running of the Bulls". That's a shame. I've YET to see any carnaval festivites and I was even here last year. Hopefully I'll see some this time around.

I will live i think I saw it the last few years in Auglias and Mojacar but would love for my grandparents to see it. Madridman if you get a chance to see it go out.
