Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival will be held 04 to 18 Feb 2020 in Santa Cruz, Spain. Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival is the most “Brazilian” of all the Spanish carnivals, and it is famous all over the world for its popular flavour. There is a very complete programme of activities drawn up by the fiestas committee of each town council. Carnival is celebrated in the street. Plaza de España, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, is decorated and many different kinds of stalls and kiosks are set up, giving the area music and a festive atmosphere. Once elections have been held for Carnival Queen, her Court and the Junior Carnival Queen, a parade is organised to announce the beginning of Carnival. The following week is a busy one filled with competitions between different kinds of Carnival groups, bands and dance schools: murgas, rondallas, comparsas, fancy dress competitions and a parade of antique cars. Carnival reaches a climax with the 'coso' (a parade that starts in the afternoon, early evening).The burial of the sardine is a custom celebrated because as in hunting there is a time when one should not hunt and therefore a time when one should not catch sardines. The festivities end with the 'Piñata Chica' and all its shows, street parties, parades and exhibitions. Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival is an event and I like events...
