The Carnaval of Socuéllamos (Ciudad Real) is one of the biggest in the region of La Mancha, with a parade of local and regional comparsas that usually brings together about 25, although in 2012 it reached 30, and close to 2000 participants in its competition. It starts with the opening proclamation and the crowning of the carnival queen, who change every year, and the festival is driven by peñas (local clubs) such as Maske or Los Mismos, some of them prize-winning in various parts of Castilla-La Mancha.
