Barcelona! 
The last Sunday of the Carnival season the central square of the town is filled with many happy faces, dressed as clowns, soldiers, and butterfly costumes, and this is the main attraction at this year’s Festival. 
Everyone is entering into the Spirit of Carnival, and confetti is covering as carpet the streets. Everyone is joining the Parade.
On Clean Monday the people organize outdoor excursions, consume shellfish and other lenten foods as lagana (lagana is an azymous bread), beans without oil, taramasalata (hard roe with oil and vinegar) and a sweet pie named halvas.
The wather is usually good and all around remind the beginning of the Spring season. 
When the wind is blowing slightly the kites' flying is enjoyable on Filopappou's hill, near Acropolis of Athens.

"Whoever didn't play ever with kite, he did not look at as long as it needs high.
Whoever didn't feel the resistance of the rope, he didn't understand the force of the air.
And whoever didn't cry as a child when his kite was falling down, he did not feel joy and creativity to face alone the Nature ".
Carnival in Greece is a festival season. It occurs immediately before Lent (Lent = in most Christian denominations, is the forty-day liturgical season of fasting and prayer before Easter. The forty days represent the time Jesus spent in the desert, where, according to the Bible, he endured temptation by Satan);
The main Carnival events are usually during February or March. It typically involves a public celebration or parade combining public street party. People often dress up or masquerade during the celebrations.
The world's largest carnival celebration is held in Brazil but many countries worldwide have large, popular celebrations, such as Carnival of Venice. The most famous Carnival events in Greece are taking place in Patras, a city in Peloponesse (in Southern Greece, 200 km away from Athens).
Clean Monday (Greek: Καθαρή Δευτέρα), also known as Pure Monday, Ash Monday, Monday of Lent or (in Cyprus only) Green Monday (actually translated as such), is the first day of the Eastern Orthodox Christian and Eastern Catholic Great Lent. It is a movable feast that occurs at the beginning of the 7th week before Easter Sunday. Because of the differences between the Julian and Gregorian calendar, Clean Monday usually falls on different days in european countries.
Clean Monday is a public holiday in Greece and Cyprus, where it is celebrated with outdoor excursions, the consumption of shellfish and other fasting food,and the widespread custom of flying kites. Eating meat, eggs and dairy products is traditionally forbidden to Christians throughout Lent, with fish being eaten only on major feast days, but shellfish is permitted. This has created the tradition of eating elaborate dishes based on seafood (shellfish, molluscs, fish roe etc). Traditionally, it is considered to mark the 
beginning of the spring season.
