This is the start of Tinajo's carnival weekend, with the 2026 theme officially announced as "Vikings." Tinajo's carnival is known for feeling very local and community-driven: people from the town and nearby villages come out in costumes, groups meet up in the centre, and the atmosphere builds quickly because everything is concentrated in a small area.
