A New Challenge Brought by the Carnival
When people think of carnival, many envision Brazil in South America. However, Europe also boasts regions that have preserved carnival traditions for centuries. One such place is the small village of Podence in northern Portugal.The Carnival of Podence, which is recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, is believed to trace its origins back to the Roman era. There are theories that it began as a ritual praying for a bountiful harvest before the arrival of spring.
