Hotels and private accommodations are usually all taken once the festivals have started. Lucky are those that have their own holiday home in Tenerife.

Classless festivities for all allow fun and more fun by means that don't, necessarily, cost much.

Tenerife carnival Santa Cruz beauty

Female Tenerife carnival splendor is so attractive:

The feminine carnival cult which involves all ages is impressive.

The most striking, colorful, glittering, divine and feminine outfits are used for the dress up. Imagination knows no boundary.

Women often make their carnival dresses themselves.

Over centuries they learned to bring out the female beauty and femininity with best dresses, perfectly. Tenerife attractions of carnival would not exist without the stunning ladies' costumes.

Carnival dresses Tenerife with wires or rods The most beautiful home made carnival outfits for Tenerife daughters must also compete at elections for teenage and child carnival queens. This is equivalent to beauty contests in the rest of the Western world.

To see the teenage girls at election in television with their dresses that have heavy rods on the bottom and head decorations that are anything than light makes you feel sorry for them, though.This, however, makes using carnival wire dresses like that not less attractive for the girls.

Once a year during winter in February, Tenerife females may shine like goddesses of attractions in an often macho society.

History of Carnival

Tenerife carnival festivities have become island attractions by
by official support as far back as 1775.

In 1852, carnival was, for the first time, funneled through municipal
channels.

Tenerife attractions on the island were needed for escape and illusions
such as only offered by carnival.

In 1979 the first private companies
started to support the party times of disguise.
A new theme or motto is chosen early before new carnival events.

Sometimes, even foreigners are selected by public tenders for the decoration of big humor and disguise shows.

Posters are newly designed, printed and distributed every year.

An example of what events carnival attractions made up in 2008:

  • Jan., 16 Competitions of Comparsas, Murgas, Rondallas(singing and dancing groups

  • Jan., 30 Election gala of young carnival queen.

  • Feb., 01 Street procession<

  • Feb., 05 Gran Coso Apteosis

  • Feb., 06 Burying of the symbolized sardine with its funeral walk

  • Feb.,19 Election Carnival Queen

  • Feb.,21 Parade of proclamation

  • Feb.,27 Guys obstacles competition(on high heels)

  • Feb.,28 Apothesis (conclusion) of Carnival at 4.p.m.
  • Here, is a video for the young carnival fans presenting a popular, rather modern Murgas folk band:

    Today, murgas who are usually males contribute greatly to Tenerife attractions during carnival. They come from all corners of society.

    Murgas who are a sort of street musicians perform in competing carnival shows. The first murgas surged as a group of seamen in Santa Cruz in 1917. Murgas use popular folk songs by changing the wording to make fun of politics or social conditions on the island.

    Unfortunately, we have to be able to understand Spanish well which would make the Murgas shows more attractive.

    Carnival attraction is good for gay community and their business:

    Carnival in Tenerife also offers great escape for expression of the still underprivileged gay community who is trying to be especially attractive for this Tenerife season.

    There are a couple of gay business people where I live. Both work in tourism.

    They confirm that Tenerife attractions such as the island's carnival is much loved by the gay community who rocks up from all over Europe to attend the island's carnival.

    Also, there is this fantastic open for all sexes gay bar called El Barca in Longuera Los Realejos Bajo(Lower Realejos) with best cocktails which attracts more new comers during carnival, by the year.

    German carnival custom becomes Tenerife carnival attraction:

    I have noticed, lately, that the German habit of throwing sweets into crowds with children as well as the use of funny nursery rhymes, perhaps translated from German, has been taken over now by Santa Cruz.

    The most surprising was seeing the reaction when 'Lametta' was thrown as well as is age old German carnival practice.

    This is miniature paper office waste the size of a lentil in different colors.

    This shows that German tourism is appreciating Tenerife.

    Will 'Lametta' become one of steady Tenerife attractions at carnival that cost next to nothing?

    Don't miss Tenerife fiestas for more but, different fun.

    The days of Carnival attractions are announced as events every year while dates for the main parade in different towns may change. So may be the final attraction which is the burial of the Sardine.
