Traditions.

Carnaval is widely celebrated, not just on Fat Tuesday before the Roman Catholic period of Lent preceding Easter begins, but over several days. Parades fill the streets and celebrants toss confetti, sing, and dance. It’s not unusual to find shopkeepers in costume, much like Halloween partygoers.

One example from Portuguese-Galician tradition, is that of mouras encantadas, shapeshifting magical maidens who guard rivers, bridges, wells, caves, and castles. Held captive under a spell by occult power, they promise to reward anyone who can free them.

Tradition

Capoeira is tradition that came to us from the time of slavery. It’s a ‘dance’ that was used to cover up the religious ceremonies that took place on the coffee plantations around the Brazilian coast. Nowadays capoeira is equivalent to a sport in Brazil. It can be taught in almost any city.

The “White Night,” which occurs on the evening of April 30th, celebrates Spring with a night where no one sleeps! For this evening, museums and shops stay open late and the streets are alive with festivities such as street performances and live music. The city turns into one giant party for the evening leading into the Italian national holiday on May 1st, May Day.
