In Pego, when February arrives, routine stops and magic takes over the streets. It is not just any carnival. Here, the party has history, character and an identity that makes it unique in the Valencian Community. For a few days, the entire town is transformed into a stage of music, costumes and debauchery, where tradition mixes with creativity in a celebration that leaves no one indifferent. But the Pego Carnival is not just a party: it is a way of understanding life. From its origins until today, this celebration has resisted prohibitions, has evolved and has managed to preserve its rebellious and festive soul.
