La Orotava
La Orotava Carnival
Febrero — Marzo
Traditional carnival in the historic town of La Orotava. The Burial of Crispín (the effigy that has replaced the sardine in La Orotava since 1979, with mourning, a funeral procession and burning in Plaza V Centenario), queen election and parades through the colonial streets of the historic center give it a special charm. A carnival with a taste of tradition in one of the most beautiful towns in Tenerife.
