Last weekend of February is Carnival weekend (Feb 24-27) when the main streets in Andorra La Vella and Escaldes will be flooded with people celebrating together a huge fancy dress party.

On Saturday 25th there will be different floats that will follow a route organised by the local families and each one will show a different theme. The parade will start at 6 pm and at the end of the route there will be a dance contest where you can also enjoy a juicy burger (3€/person). This will take place in Sala Prat del Roure (near Caldea Spa Centre).
On Sunday 26th there will be a local calçotada (typical meal from Catalonia) at 1.30 pm in the Escaldes Region.
If you miss the parade on Saturday evening, don't worry, on Monday evening there's a kiddies fancy dress contest at 5.30 pm in Sala Prat del Roure.
