Book your accommodation at least 6 months ahead — Santa Cruz fills up completely during carnival and prices triple or more. Hotels in La Laguna (15 minutes by tram) can be a more affordable option.
The election of the Carnival Queen (Gala de la Reina) is a spectacular event held in the Recinto Ferial. Tickets are not expensive but sell out quickly. The costumes are absolutely breathtaking — some take a year to create.
The main outdoor stages on Avenida Anaga are free and run until sunrise. The atmosphere is completely safe and family-friendly during the day — children in costumes are very much part of the tradition.
Wear a costume! Even a simple mask or wig is enough to feel part of it. The Canarian people are incredibly welcoming during carnival and you will have a much better experience if you make the effort to dress up.
