The 2020 Carnival of Eagles, with more than 400 years of history and declared a Festival of International Tourist Interest, will take place from February 14 to March 14.
–
The Aguilas Carnival begins on a Thursday with “La Suelta de la Mussona” and continues on Saturday night with “El Pregón” and “La Batalla de Don Carnal y Doña Cuaresma”, each accompanied and encouraged by their own followers. Of course the Don Carnal battle always wins, which marks the start of the festive revelry. For three days, great parades of groups, troupes and floats take place, with the musical background of the brass bands and marching bands, ending the following Saturday with the “Burning of Don Carnal”.
