1. The Canary Islands are waiting for you!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you thought you’d seen it all, it’s because you haven’t experienced Carnival in the Canary Islands. This event, declared a Festival of National Tourist Interest, transforms the islands into a spectacle of colour and joy. From the gala for selecting the Carnival Queen, with its stupendous and highly engineered feather and glitter costumes, to the ingenuity of the Murgas and the choreographic rhythm of the Comparsas, Carnival in the Canary Islands is an experience that you don’t just watch, you live and breathe it in the street!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
