What to see in Municipality Santa Cruz de Tenerife

The fiesta begins at the end of February - the few days leading up to the start of Lent.

The carnival festa is typical for all regions of Spain but it is particularly famous in Cadiz and  Tenerife. It also has a strong tradition in the gay district of Chueca in Madrid and in Sitges near Barcelona. Ciudad Rodrigo near Salamanca also has a popular carnival although it is very different then the ones held in other cities.

The Tenerife festival is one of the most extravagant in the world (may be second after the famous Rio de Janeiro carnival).
