Download programme:  Puerto de la Cruz 2012

The carnival has been declared of international tourist interest, being one of the longest-standing carnivals of the island.  The “burial of the sardine” held on Ash Wednesday, and the “Grand Carnival Parade” on the following Saturday, are quite spectacular, with the participation of many individuals, groups, floats, comparsas, murgas (carnival music groups) and several delegations from the carnivals of other countries.
