“Pay de devil”…<br />
As the sun sets on Carnival Monday evening,<br />
another kind of Carnival tradition unfolds in the<br />
hills of Paramin. The annual competition pits<br />
fearsome blue devils against each other at Fatima<br />

Chances are, you know how this all ends on Carnival<br />
Tuesday: thousands have filled the streets<br />
of Port of Spain (and other towns across the<br />
country) from as early as 7am, en route to the<br />
Queen’s Park Savannah or Socadrome stages.<br />

work (or the beach) come Ash Wednesday …<br />
