You can''t think of a better place than the street to enjoy Carnival. The ornaments, the music of the kiosks, the tide of people in disguise who only think of having fun ... In the parades and outdoor events is where you breathe the true spirit of the carnival.

Announcing Cavalcade

The magic of the proximity is what the audience attending the spectacular carnival announcing parade enjoys.
The main streets of the city are cut to traffic for a few hours to host an authentic parade of color and joy. The ride brings together the best of the Carnival phases that have already passed and those that are still to be celebrated.

Carnival in the street:

The impressive fantasies and interpretations of the Carnival groups throughout the contest process would not reach their maximum expression without their contact with the streets of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The center of the city is the quintessential area of ​​Carnival on the street: the quadrilateral formed by the Plaza de España, the streets of San José, Villalba Hervás and the Plaza del Príncipe is where the party is buzzing.
In this area you can congregate more than 200,000 people.

Coso

On Carnival Tuesday, with the body marked by the dance and the face still full of glitter on Monday night, the city is dressed again in colors so that the cosmic apotheosis travels through its streets.

Like the cavalcade announcer, it is an event that is lived in family, either live or through television. The coso represents the end of the Carnival celebration, but all Santa Cruzans know that the party has really just begun.

Burial of the Sardine

One of the most picturesque and deep-rooted celebrations of the Carnival is the farewell that the carnivals make to Don Carnal at the burial of the sardine - or of the chicharro, emblematic fish for the Santacruceros, to the point of calling themselves chicharreros.
