The burial of the sardine.

Is the first time that they do this festival in our neighborhood, Sarrià
The burial of the sardine is the last event of the carnival in some towns in Spain. According to tradition, a funeral procession accompanies a sardine to its funeral that ends by burning a symbolic figure.
Usually someone (as a towncrier) reads a comic proclaims.
The picture shows the masked towncrier reading lit up by torchlight.
