The first masks, with the cow bells, could come right out of an Austrian Alpine valley. In fact, I am surprised that most of the masks looks as if created for cooler temperatures. Is there a reason for it?
these costumes are simply amazing. So many styles or looks and so many bright colors. What a fun event this must be. I love how you caught the camera crew in the top shot.
I know in Sardinia have traditional masks with bells like the one in the first picture (mamutones), I wonder if these are related in some strange way...
Nice carneval and intersting masks. We have a quite same even in Mohacs in every years. Its name is "busojaras". You can see some photos about it on their official website: http://www.mohacsibusojaras.hu/?c=2

Great images and that first one is really cool, a kind of behind the scenes!

@Merisi: Actually, many of these traditional masks are from northern regions of Spain and Portugal where winters are very cold.

This has been such a fun, colorful, unique series, JM!! I'm really enjoying it!! Looking forward to the next edition!!
Such cheerful shots! Looks like a lot of fun.
Amazing carnival-dresses and wonderful photos..
(We have very very cold winter in Finland, but we don't have any traditional like this :)

These masks and costumes are really spectacular. What a lovely array of colors, and the way you have caught them make for such a great series.

This looks like such a great event! It would have scared me as a kid though.
This is such a wonderful festival. I love having a front row seat, albeit distant.
Great colors and design...really, really like the top shot. You are right in the mix and now on video/TV too :).
An other great series, JM!
The masks in the first picture are very similar to ours...

Fantastic.
I love the variety.
Looks like lots of work have been put in to the event.
Amazing event!
Love it!
If all your shots are like this JM, I can see how hard it would have been to pick only a few from the 324 shots you took..
Interesantes fotos de esre evento.
Un beso.
