Comodin – Fiesta de la Mantilla

January 29, 2013/in Bars, Carnival / Carnaval, Events/by keith@gaysitgesguide.com

Comodin is hosting its traditional “Mantillas” night on Tuesday the 5th of February. It marks the beginning of Carnival and is always a busy night of fun, music and costumes. There are prizes for the boy or girl with the best Mantilla.

For those who don’t know, a Mantilla is a woman’s lace or silk scarf covering the shoulders and head, often worn over a comb in the hair and is very traditional in Spain. Previous years have seen some interesting versions of the Mantilla, so don’t miss out on this carnival party.
