　　Last weekend I was lucky enough to attend one of Spain's most famous carnivals in the city of Cadiz. You can only understand why it is one of the most important carnivals in the world after seeing it for yourself. Everybody I saw，of all ages，was fancily­dressed from top to toe，making me feel like I was in a fairy­tale world with singing and dancing all around the city centre.

　　Almost instantly after stepping off the train in Cadiz，we were filled with joy，as everyone was in high spirits. A number of people parading through the streets playing traditional music filled people with happiness and craziness like I have never seen before. As we wandered around，we saw that the creativity of some costumes was incredible! From Shrek to Japanese wrestlers，the imagination and effort put into the fancy dresses was remarkable. You could really tell that people put a lot of time and energy into making some amazing costumes.

These mini street shows were a true taste of Spanish culture and set me up for a fun night.

　　As the night progressed，the streets got more packed with people. A moment that felt quite dreamlike was when we were dancing outside a convenience store with music provided by the owners booming through their speakers! Everyone who passed would be jamming along to the music. Afterwards，we went to the main party at El Puerto，which was like a mini festival.

　　After this special weekend of festival，it is true to say that the Spanish know how to party!
