The city of Tarragona celebrated its traditional Craftsmanship Parade (Rua de l'Artesania) this February 15, a massive event that filled the center with music and color despite adverse weather conditions.

The long-awaited parade once again turned the streets of Tarragona into the heart of the festivities. After days of uncertainty due to strong wind gusts that forced the cancellation of other Carnival events, the Craftsmanship Parade finally went ahead with a massive public response.
Hours before the start, families and groups of friends gathered along the route to secure a spot. Despite a significant drop in temperatures, the festive atmosphere dominated the day as the troupes showcased months of preparation.
This year's entries stood out for their diverse themes, featuring elaborate choreographies and costume designs that captivated the audience. The celebration reinforces Tarragona's position as a key Carnival destination, overcoming the challenges posed by recent storms.
