Do you remember those big dolls walking through the streets of New Orleans in the James Bond classic Live and Let Die? Well, that's one of the main characteristics of Carnival in Olinda. Olinda is characterized by steep rolling hills covered with colorful houses. Artists spend the whole year making huge dolls, which will be worn by people in street parades throughout the somewhat longer 11-day carnival celebration, which is kicked off by a parade of 'virgins' consisting of about 400 men in drag.

In Olinda, the people celebrate Carnival in the streets. Practically unknown to foreign Carnival novices, Olinda has a very respected Carnival tradition within the country of Brazil. So, if you want to celebrate Carnival with a more native Brazilian feel, without being totally surrounded by tourists from every other corner of the world, as you'll find in Rio, Olinda is an excellent choice. It's one of the longest Carnival celebrations, which lasts until early March and believe me it is a very happening, big party, attracting lots of beautiful Brazilians looking for a good time.

Carnaval in Olinda actually gets going the Sunday before the official start, when the Virgens do Bairro Novo, a traditional bloco several hundred strong, parades down the seafront road followed by crowds that regularly top 200,000. By now the old city is covered with decorations: ribbons, streamers and coloured lanterns are hung from every nook and cranny, banners are strung across streets and coloured lighting set up in all the squares. Olinda's Carnaval is not only famous for its bonecos, which are first paraded around on Friday night and then at intervals during the days, but also for the decorated umbrellas that aficionados use to dance the frevo. The tourist office has lists of the hundreds of groups, together with routes and approximate times, but there is something going on all the time in most places in the old city. The most famous blocos, with mass followings, are Pitombeira and Elefantes; also try catching the daytime performances of travestis, transvestite groups, which have the most imaginative costumes – ask the tourist office to mark them out on the list for you.

Olinda's Carnaval is generally considered to be one of the three greatest in Brazil, along with Rio and Salvador. It overshadows the celebrations in neighbouring Recife, and attracts thousands of revellers from all over the Northeast. It's easy to see why Olinda developed into such a major Carnaval: the setting is matchless, and local traditions of art and music are very strong. Like the other two great Brazilian carnivals, Olinda has a style and feel all of its own: not quite as large and potentially intimidating as in either Rio or Salvador, the fact that much of it takes place in the winding streets and small squares of the old city makes it seem more manageable. The area of the historic centre "Cidade Alta" of town is one of the liveliest during Carnaval. The music, with the local beats of frevo and maracatu predominating, the costumes and the enormous bonecos, papier-mâche figures of folk heroes or savage caricatures of local and national personalities, make this Carnaval unique. Therefore the overnight accomodation prices for carnival are in the historical center of Olinda, the "Cidade Alta", highly like that as in Rio de Janeiro and Salvador de Bahia.

Brazilians are hot, sensual people and since Olinda is packed with Brazilians coming to meet girls and guys from all over the country you can bet the streets are sizzling. It's an interesting mixture of rhythms, in addition to the caboclinhos, native Indians, and African influenced Maracatu beats, there's Frevo, a style of music where people dance with umbrellas to a fast rhythm. People that go to Recife and Olinda know how to party and they live for this celebration each year!
