The carnivals of Guadeloupe

Guadeloupe has a carnival tradition worthy of the most famous ones. From Epiphany Sunday, Guadeloupeans hold parade after parade every weekend, and close the carnival season on Shrove Tuesday with grand parades, and on Ash Wednesday by burning "Vaval", the king of the Carnival. The carnival season can therefore last two months! http://www.Antilles-info-Tourisme.com/Guadeloupe/Carnaval.htm
