In the Carnival of Cadiz
“El azar es lo único que no se puede comprar. Tienes que pagar por ello y tienes que pagar con tu vida, pasar mucho tiempo, pagar con tiempo, no con despilfarro de tiempo, sino con gasto de tiempo”.

(Robert Doisneau)

These photos are a sample of some scenes (perfectly and surprisingly recreated by organizers within the Battle of French event). I have tried to show them in chronological order , belonging the first photo to the dance of welcoming act and the second one the dance of fire act, previously to the Recreation.
