Alicante to Decide on Carnival Cancellation by Saturday

The Alicante City Council will wait 24 hours, until March 1st, to make the final decision on whether to cancel the Saturday Ramblero of the carnival. Mayor Luis Barcala explained on Friday that the forecast is similar to New Year's Eve, with 'constant but not torrential' rain. For now, the Saturday Ramblero of the Alicante city carnival remains scheduled, pending the development of the dana announced by the UA Climatology Laboratory.

The dana forecast has caused a wave of cancellations and postponements in Alicante municipalities, which have announced the cancellation of Carnival-related events and other celebrations in a cascade throughout Thursday and Friday.
