Tolosa is the best place for carnaval because the whole town is taken over for several days by elaborate homemade floats and people dancing in costumes. It poured because of course. To avoid the unpleasant weather, a lot of people covered their costumes with plastic ponchos or stayed in bars or danced inside covered floats. Our avoidance took the form of a pastry binge at both
Gorrotxategi and
Eceiza. Almond paste was involved, and chocolate, and one crazy thing with toasted almonds and some strange dulce de leche/caramelized sugar layer over puff pastry. And some butter, a little bit. Here are some pics from the festivities.
