We have been to the carnival in Puerto several times over the past years. as you say it is a wonderful experience...only sorry to be missing all the fun this year. Fingers crossed maybe make it next year.

Hi, we have been other years, and always had a great time. I also remember the summer carnival as a child in the 70s.

We have been quite a few years, but unfortunately find it a lot more difficult to stand around for so many hours, I was disappointed as i tried to tune into television to watch it but somehow we could not get it we had no signal. must get it sorted.

not sure if they showed the puerto carnival, i think it was only the santa cruz one, it is a long time waiting but if you can get a seat at a cafe or bar, & they have seats along the route, it's not too bad, but it was a long carnival we watched from 4pm until 7.30 pm & still not finished, but it was a great day x

Today I've just spent the second Sunday down at Plaza del Charco mingling with the crowds, taking photos and eating paella at one of the churinguitos.

Have seen the parade many times in the 29 years I've lived in Puerto de la Cruz so I don't stand around watching that any more but like the ambience in the street during carnival time.
