Today we discuss the vibrant world of Caribbean carnivals, focusing on the key differences between Jamaican and broader Caribbean carnivals compared to those in Spain. We break down why the energy, culture, and experience of Caribbean festivities—rooted in African and indigenous traditions—are unmatched. From the pulsating soca and dancehall music to the elaborate costumes and road march vibes, we explain why Spanish carnivals, while fun, simply don’t bring the same level of excitement.

We also get into the do’s and don’ts of taking your partner to a carnival in Jamaica. Whether it’s understanding the culture of wining (dancing), setting boundaries, or just knowing when to let loose and enjoy, we share tips to make sure both of you have the best experience without unnecessary drama.
