About Mundaka Carnival
Mundaka’s traditional Carnival centers on the Atorrak (men in white with a pillowcase‑style hood and scarf) who parade and sing through the streets in the morning, and the Lamiak (women in black with white‑painted faces) who take to the streets in the afternoon. The town square and streets fill with music, processions, and local customs.
This celebration benefits from careful observation, local guidance, and respect for community boundaries.
What visitors should understand
Attendance can be appropriate while active documentation is not. Let local boundaries define your role.
What not to do
Avoid filming or photographing moments that feel private, sacred, or restricted.
Observation may be enough
Some celebrations are best approached quietly: arrive prepared, follow posted rules, and leave without turning the moment into content.
