During Tufara's Mask of the Carnival the devil, symbol of indulgence, suffers a modern death. Celebrations begin in the afternoon and end when a platoon of soldiers executes the mannequin representing the devil by firing several (live) shots at it.
It all begins with merry bands of painted and masked musicians prancing through the street, playing their instruments and singing. Meanwhile, elsewhere in Tufara, the procession of the devils is preparing to emerge.
The devil, the main character of the carnival, is accompanied by white figures representing death that keep him chained and under control until the solemn trial in the evening.
