Description
The Espirituanos(this town's folk) always look forward to the month of July. Carnival time. During colonial times it was a religious observance of the day of Apostle Santiago on July 25th. Today the city fills with Conga dancing carnival goers and performers to the sound of live music? 'La Matanza de la Culebra' (Snake Massacre) is the most popular comparsa played. July 26th is the day of the Espirituano Ausente, bringing all absent native-born residents back for a visit. The beer flows, floats strut in parades and no doubt about it, the rhythm is gonna get you.
