That same day, at 17:30, the King of Carnival arrives at Plaza Sant Jaume. It will be a very colorful show held by the theater group Comediants. That weekend, El Raval and Gothic Quarter streets are the scenario of several Carnival parades. It all ends on Ash Wednesday with traditional burial of the sardine.
