Cádiz Carnival is one of Spain’s most famous and vibrant celebrations, and in 2026 it runs from 12 February to 22 February. Every year, this coastal city transforms into a nonstop party full of music, costumes, satire, and street energy. The Carnival of Cádiz blends centuries-old tradition with modern creativity, making it one of the most unique and beloved festivals in Spain.
I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain. My articles contain affiliate links that will help you reserve a hotel, bus, train or activity in the area. You don’t pay more, but by using them you do support this website. Thankyou!
