Shrovetide of Lazarim
[edit]In Lazarim, Carnival is celebrated, which is considered one of the most traditional Shrovetides in Portugal.
The tradition is characterized by the Caretos, an ethnographic parade, and satirical testaments, in a licentiousness coming from times when everything was lived in clandestinity, confronting the institutional and religious authority in force.
The Caretos wear alder wood masks.
