yes.. as far as I know it's the same dates. I was a t Carniva last year in Barranquilla... I loe Barranquilla.. but I thoguht VCarnival wa skind of boring. A few days of parades.. peopel in the stands... nothing special.. maybe it's all about the parites or where you go after the parades.. but Carnival itself in Barranquilla.. nothing like I was expecting. I cant imagine Brazils carnival being anything like Barranuqillas. Id actaully rate Marde Gras in New Orleans 10 fold over Barranquilas Carnival.. except the fact that I love the Barranquilleras.. but yo can have that any day of the week in Barranquilla.. no needofr Carnival to se hot Barranquilleras

Miguel I didnt mean it that way, sorry to offend :)

What i meant was that i would prefer to celebrate carnivale with local people rather than other "gringos" from the hostel/hotel?

Entiende?
