Carnaval Chiquito, also called the carnaval de los "jartibles", is for those who still haven't had enough after 10 days of carnival and are eager to keep listening to coplas. It will take place on Sunday, February 21.
On this day, the agrupaciones ilegales take to the streets and perform their repertoire before a smaller crowd than during the official carnival. It is a more intimate event, unlike the crowded carnival days when it is difficult to walk through the streets. The audience mostly consists of people from the city itself or nearby towns, making it a great opportunity to enjoy the wit and humor of these groups in a more relaxed atmosphere.
As usual, the groups will gather in areas such as plaza de las Flores, Catedral, Candelaria, San Agustín, los Callejones, Pericón de Cádiz, or the medieval neighborhood of El Pópulo. This is the last chance for fans to enjoy the coplas of this edition, and they will be able to do so without the usual hustle and bustle and the queues that typically form in the streets during the official week of festivities in the city.
