Traditional Canary Islands’ Carnival

The Carnival of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, considered one of the most attractive of all those held in Spain, has been declared a Celebration of National Tourist Interest. The programme includes parades, dances and comparsas between the Tuesday of Carnival (13 February) and the day of the Burial of the Sardine (18 February), which puts an end to the Carnival festivities through a unique spectacle sprinkled with magic, and which sees the involvement of fantastic creatures.

If you are travelling with children, you really can’t miss this Carnival in the Canary Islands, as it has many activities just for the little ones. They’ll have a great time dressing up and dancing in the children’s parades, and you will enjoy the colourful spectacle.

We recommend staying at the Elba Vecindario for its quiet location. Its suites and executive rooms are a good place for the whole family to recharge their batteries so they can give it their all during the next Carnival day.

Carnival desserts

To replenish your energy, don't miss out on trying the Carnival tortillas. They are a typical dessert from the Canary Islands made from eggs, flour, milk, aniseed and cinnamon, and then sweetened with honey or sugar. Every year the local confectioners make up new ideas, and there are even those who make them with pumpkin. You will love them!!
