Burst into the riotous world of Tenerife Carnival, a flamboyant fiesta that rivals Rio with its sea of sequins and feathers. This annual extravaganza, the biggest event on the Tenerife calendar, sees the streets pulsate with music, dance, and unbridled delight. Save the date - 13th February 2024 - for this unforgettable spectacle, easily accessible with our hassle-free, guided transfer. Petra, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Each year, the carnival has a different theme, and many of the costumes, floats, and decorations are specially designed for the theme. The themes vary from historical eras to fantasy worlds, adding an element of surprise and creativity.'
Your guides know the best spots in town to get to the heart of the action, so you can rub shoulders with locals and visitors alike in a street party of epic proportions. Picture dazzling costumes, towering headdresses, and parades so splendid, they redefine the meaning of 'the brighter, the better'. There's never a dull moment here - skimpy outfits and gaudy makeup shimmy to salsa beats, creating a sensory overload that's nothing short of exhilarating.
The crescendo of this visual symphony is the float procession in Santa Cruz. Bands and cabaret dancers stream through the streets in a kaleidoscope of colour and movement. It's more than just a parade, it's a feast of flamboyant fun. So why not join in? The carnival atmosphere is infectious – you'll find yourself swept up in the spirit of celebration before you know it.
