Carnaval in Los Cristianos this year takes place from Friday, 6th March to Monday, 16th March, 2015. Confirmation of these details came just 2 days before events began. It's officially the Carnaval of Arona - Los Cristianos being a port and town in the district of Arona - but events do take place mostly in Los Cristianos. A pedantic distinction perhaps, but I mention it because, if you were searching online, you would probably want to include both names to get relevant results. The Gran Coso Apoteósico del Carnaval en Los Cristianos (Main Parade), beginning alongside the Arona Gran Hotel, will take place on Sunday, 15th March, 2015 from 4pm.
