The carnival of carnivals

Carnival in the Canary Islands is an explosion of fun, music and colour.

All over the archipelago parades, dance troupes and outdoor parties fill the air with the joyous atmosphere of a carnival with a long history.

What really makes Canarian carnival celebrations stand out is the pleasant temperature of this winter tradition. Choose any costume you want and don’t worry about the cold; the warm nights mean you’ll be able to wear it.

On the street for the mogollones

Carnival is a street celebration and the mogollones are its biggest parties: Everyone hits the streets in costume to dance and sing.

Vast rhythmic celebration of light, colour and fun that take over the streets all throughout carnival.

Everybody is welcome and all you need to bring to the party is a huge appetite for fun.
