DE Carnival in Tenerife is no less colorful than the Brazilian in Rio de Janeiro. Canaries by right can be given silver. Here it is held since the sixties. The scale of the carnival in Tenerife acquired in the early 60's after the calm associated with the civil wars in Spain. Pass holidays from January to February, before the Catholic fast before Easter. Last week is the main one. It is at this time that marches, concerts and parties take place. In addition to the main square, Santa Cruz, the carnival in Tenerife is held in Icod de los Vinos, Los Cristianos, Los Gigantos and Puerto de la Cruz. Tourists from Europe and from all over the world come to the capital. On the main square of the city choose the queen, march the suite and announce the cavalcade. Various art groups prepare the program for performances at the Canary Carnival for a year. And the audience takes part in the evaluation of the performances with pleasure. The best receive awards. Designers sew new suits every time, strictly on the theme of the year. Bright, conspicuous and impressive outfits are not easy to wear. Most often they are heavy and massive, especially hats, so queens should be not only beautiful, but also hardy. The apotheosis of the carnival is Coso Parade, which takes place on Tuesday carnival week.
The carnival ends with a comical funeral procession in dark grotesque costumes. At the end of the parade, a hefty sardine, made of papier-mâché, is burnt. Burning is accompanied by feigned moans and crying. Tenerife says goodbye to the carnival until next year. Carnival in Tenerife is an amazing sight for which it is worth visiting the island. Especially the week of holidays like the youth!
