Barcelona Mardi Gras

It was a glorious Sunday in Barcelonita as the local residents did their own Mardi Gras parade, complete with Samba drum schools and dancers.

In the backstreets removed from the beach, we happened upon a tiny bar-restaurant, with the freshest sardines and canelone (a Barcelona speciality similar to the Cosa Nostra's).   With only three tables, soon there was a queue of masqueraded adults  and children.
