"Partir la Vieja" day

Today is a special day in Callosa de Segura. Other cities around Alicante, like Elche, celebrate today the "partir la vieja" day. The meaning is to celebrate the middle part of the Lent ( "Cuaresma" in Spanish) that's the middle of a period of a Christian festivity. The literal meaning is "to divide" ( partir) "the old woman" ( la vieja").
During this day people or schools from the town show a pair of old fainted people dressed as old people, called "viejotes". In a big poster people write some critic saying about society, related to education, council fails, etc. 
Look at our "viejotes" and the poster.
