Looking for a holiday home for Carnival in Girona where your group can throw a fancy-dress party with no neighbours next door? At Can Micos you get the whole Catalan farmhouse to yourselves, for 16 to 25 people, with the Costa Brava carnival parades a short drive away.
We are Carmen and Dani, and we have been hosting groups for over 26 years. Carnival falls in February, which is usually low season, so it is a good time to get the gang together.

Carnival 2027 calendar
In Catalonia Carnival lasts a week, and each day has its own tradition:
| Day | What happens |
|---|---|
| Thursday 4 Feb | Dijous Gras: omelette and egg sausage (botifarra d’ou). A good excuse to light the barbecue. |
| Saturday 6 Feb | Main parade day in many towns, and fancy-dress night. |
| Sunday 7 Feb | More parades and troupes on the coast. |
| Tuesday 9 Feb | Shrove Tuesday: in Vidreres, next door to us, the village cooks the Ranxo stew. |
| Wednesday 10 Feb | Ash Wednesday and the Burial of the Sardine. |
Each town sets its own parade date and it changes every year, so check the town hall programme before you come.

The fancy-dress party, at home
Many groups stay in and throw the party at the house. The living room is large, with a fireplace, and there is a games room with table football and ping-pong. You can cook dinner yourselves in the kitchen or on the barbecue, and we also have a catering option.
About music: during the day it can be loud. From 10 pm, outdoors it has to come down to conversation level, out of respect for the countryside around us. Indoors, with everything closed, it can stay loud.
The pool is always looked after, but in February the water is too cold for swimming.
If you go to a parade at night
The coastal parades finish late. To get back, we recommend booking a taxi, so nobody has to drive after the party.
