Participants are celebrating the end of carnival with the ''Burial of the Sardine'' in San Sebastian de los Reyes, Madrid, on February 14, 2024. This annual Spanish ceremony, dating back to 1851, typically features a carnival parade that mimics a funeral procession and often ends with the burning of a symbolic figure, often a sardine.
