\u201cLa quema del mal humor\u201d \u2013 the burning of the bad mood<\/h3>\n

The bad mood in this case represents all worries and trepidation of the people and is the official beginning of the carnival fiestas. Mostly it is a representative sign or doll that is burned.<\/p>\n

\"\"Moreover, there are a lot of other things to be seen, such as the firework that is lit to commemorate the defense of the harbor during the French invasion 1864.<\/p>\n
