Junior Carnival Queen at the Gala for her Election in 2019 |
The carnival excitement level shifts up a gear in Santa Cruz de Tenerife this week as we get to the climax of the hugely popular murga groups contests with the Final of the Murga Contests on Friday, 7 February. Then on Saturday, 8 February there is the Contest of Musical Groups. The first of the three carnival queens is chosen in the Gala Election of the Junior Carnival Queen on Sunday, 9 February. (Links go to coverage of the corresponding events from last year, so you can get an idea of what's involved.)
