Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnaval of the 1980s

It's time to dig out those old legwarmers, add a pink tutu, wear a huge bow in your big blonde hair, (maybe even add a Madonna bra for extra authenticity) ... especially if you're a bloke, because "The 1980s" is going to be the theme for Santa Cruz Carnaval in 2016.

Apparently the theme, chosen by the public, marginally beat “The Caribbean”.

There's also confirmation that the 2016 Santa Cruz Carnaval is to be held between 3rd to the 14th February, so (subject to further confirmation or alteration), the order of events should follow those we already published for Tenerife Carnaval 2016.
