For those of you arriving in the next couple of weeks I thought you might like to know when Carnival is happening!
In Puerto del Carmen it opens on Friday 8th Feb, with the main parade on Saturday 9th starting around 5 ish all along the main sea front. The parade will start from the San Antonio end of the strip, going down towards the Fariones Hotel end.
In Costa Teguise the main parade is on Saturday 16th Feb and in Playa Blanca on 23rd Feb. Not sure of the times for those two places I'm afraid.
Hope this is of help to people! Bring your facepaints
Thank you Sue!
