Carnaval being pretty sacrosanct, it’s fairly unlikely that this pattern will ever be significantly changed (weather excepting), but I do have to add that any changes will be outside of my control. Thus, use this information as a guide, but where it is crucial (affects flight bookings, etc.), it is your own responsibility to double check nearer the time.
Los Cristianos (Arona)
UPDATE: Los Cristianos carnival will be held between 17 and 27 March 2017.

Thanks so much for that Janet, I hadn't had time to research due to house moving.
