🇬🇧 The Careto is a mythical figure of Portuguese Carnival. The Careto of Lazarim is distinguished by its wooden mask carved by the hands of artisans and its attire, which, while not uniform, is fundamentally characterized by the use of common materials found in everyday life, whether they be plants, rags, straw, among others.
Its identity is meant to be mysterious, as the careto wants to be free from the constraints of identity, experiencing a unique sense of freedom. Protected by anonymity, they temporarily free themselves from judgments, social expectations, and conventions that normally regulate their everyday behavior. It is precisely in this anonymity that the essence of the celebration is found, but often this concealment is difficult to maintain for various reasons, as the careto may be a family member, friend, or acquaintance who is easily recognized by certain traits.
In the early days of this tradition, the Careto was someone local, as the festival was a cultural expression of the community itself. However, with the passage of time and the appreciation of these traditions as cultural heritage, participation has been opened to outsiders who wish to experience what it feels like to be a careto, becoming one of the strengths of our carnival. More important than a person's origin is respect for the tradition, such as the way the masks are used and the attitude adopted during the time wearing the costume. The careto should be playful, cheerful, and respectful of the community, not overstepping boundaries in their "pranks."

Ancora un scorcio dalla splendida Cantabria (Maggio 2023).

Quello che sta volando è un avvoltoio: per noi italiani, poco abituati a vederli, fanno un po' impressone all'inizio perché ci sembrano enormi.

Qui trovate la playlist del mio viaggio in Cantabria; siate clementi perché erano i primi video che facevo.
