The Burying of the Sardine is a Spanish ceremony celebrating the end of the carnival in Tenerife.
Do you know: The Burying of the Sardine always takes place on Ash Wednesday.
Marking the end of the Carnival, a mourning procession is carried out where a burning symbolic figure of a sardine is carried through the carnival and finally buried. This burial is a representation of the past that people have buried, moving forward to be reborn and transform themselves as well as society with new vigour and zest.
