The Queen Encarna-val, returning to the throne twenty years after her first reign, was carried through the city center in a funeral procession. The event symbolizes the transition to Ash Wednesday and the end of the irreverent celebrations that have defined the past few days in the Baix Camp capital.
In a local tradition, the Ball de Diables de Reus interrupted the ceremony to steal the Queen's Incorrupt Arm. This unexpected twist extends the carnival by one more day, allowing for a final parade and the reading of satirical verses before the ultimate conclusion of the 2026 edition.
