Cultural Carnival 2021 in La Laguna
In a program that is a recognition of the carnival groups and specialized artisans who for years have kept the tradition of La Laguna carnival alive, the city will host the second edition of the Cultural Carnival for a month, a celebration that was well received by the public and La Laguna groups last year, and with which the Department of Culture of the La Laguna City Council wants to protect and promote the great intangible heritage that this tradition represents in the municipality.
Cultural Carnival 2021 Program
The program includes 21 activities that run from Friday, February 26, until March 27 with exhibitions of the murgas of La Laguna; through the costumes of the carnival queens of the municipality, as well as workshops in percussion and the elaboration of carnival masks.
Activities start on Friday, February 26, with the inauguration of the Murga Exhibition in La Laguna, curated by historical figure of the Tenerife Carnival, Pedro Megíbar, and the historian, with several works on the Carnival, Ramón Guimerá. The exhibition includes key elements of the carnival, such as posters, costumes, whistles and musical instruments, the history of the murgas of La Laguna, as well as showcasing the men and women who, for years, have made it possible to maintain the activity of the murgas.
Also on Friday the Las Reinas de Dávila exhibition will open, in which visitors can enjoy costumes by La Laguna designer, Luis Dávila, a recognized figure of carnival in the Canary Islands, who for more than 40 years has designed costumes for groups, rondallas, murgas and queens, a job that has earned him professional recognition.
Both exhibitions will remain open until March 27 and can be visited in the Antiguo convento de Santo Domingo de Guzmán (Calle Santo Domingo, 7, 38207 San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain). From Monday to Friday, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The Teatro Leal (Calle Obispo Rey Redondo, 50, 38201 San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain), which for many years was the epicentre of the La Laguna Carnival, will host a third exhibition in which the costumes of the La Laguna carnival groups will be exhibited. The opening hours will be from Tuesday to Saturday, from 11:00 to 13:00 and from 17:00 to 20:00. This exhibition will be open from March 2 to 6.
The Cultural Carnival program also includes a cycle of 18 workshops focused on carnival themes, specifically, the making of masks and percussion techniques.
All the workshops will take place during the weekend of March 6 and 7.
On Saturday, March 6, at 10:00 a.m., the Plaza Hermano Ramón will host a Carnival mask-making workshop, while, at 12:00 p.m., will be a percussion workshop led by comparsa, Los Joroperos. At the Parque Tecnológico y Científico Las Mantecas (Las Mantecas Science and Technology Park), in La Cuesta, at 10:00, Las Valkyries will hold the mask workshop. At 12:00, the percussion workshops with Río Orinoco and Los Bambones will coincide. Also at 10:00 and 12:00, Las Marchilongas and Los Castorcitos will give a Carnival mask workshop and the percussion workshop, respectively, in the Sports Complex Polvorín de Taco. Las Pirujas will run the carnival mask-making workshop at 10:00 am at the Teatro Unión Tejina. At 12:00, it will be the turn of the percussion workshop by Los Valleiros.
The next day, Sunday, March 7, Plaza Hermano Ramón will repeat the same workshops at the same time as on Saturday. The Parque de Las Mantecas will repeat at 10:00 am the mask workshop by Las Valkirias and, at 12:00 pm, the percussion workshop directed by Río Orinoco. In the Polvorín de Taco, the Marchilongas will give the mask workshop at 10:00 am, while, at 12:00, Los Castorcitos and Los Bambones will coincide with the percussion. Finally, the Teatro Unión Tejina will be the setting for both workshops at the same hours and taught by the same groups as the day before.
All the activities included in the program are free and comply with the health security protocols established by current legislation regarding the control of capacity and other hygienic-sanitary measures to minimize the risk of contagion.

Virtual hiking to maintain the essence of the Tenerife Walking Festival 2021
![]() |
Tenerife Walking Festival 2021 |
The Tenerife Walking Festival 2021 will take place between March 12 and 19 and all lovers of nature activities and hiking can register for the event, to follow it from anywhere in the world. The Cabildo, through Turismo de Tenerife, announced last week the opening of registrations for the 'Tenerife Walking Festival' (TWF), which, in this edition, will be held in online format. The objective is to keep the interest in this event alive.
The opening day, scheduled for March 12 starting at 4:00 p.m. (local time), will be streamed through the official Tenerife Tourism channels and on the virtual stage of the festival. The rest of the programming will take place between March 12 and 19 (the schedules are proposed to cover different zones, given the international nature of the event), and registrations, free of charge, can be made on the website www.tenerifewalkingfestival.com
The proposal for this edition combines the organization of webinars, created specifically for the event, in which topics such as environmental management or the positioning of destinations through unique routes will be addressed. This is the case of the spectacular route 040, which joins Playa del Socorro with Pico del Teide. The development of these activities in a sustainable framework will also be discussed, without forgetting the perspective of the current health crisis.
Virtual hiking to keep the essence of the TWF
In order to maintain the essence of this annual event, a virtual hiking module is offered, which will allow hikers to discover routes and learn about the characteristics and wealth of the area. There are three trails that can be travelled in this particular way; the circular route of Samara, a volcanic route with beautiful sunsets, together with Baracán-Teno Alto-Faro de Teno, a perfect combination between laurel forests and the sea. There will also be the route that connects the Montes de Anaga hostel with Antequera beach. A dizzying descent, which culminates with the return to Las Teresitas beach by motorboat.
In addition to this digital offer, there are also two face-to-face routes aimed at the local public on Sunday, March 14, which will be organized by the Cabildo, together with volunteer groups and companies from the sector.
The five previous editions of the Tenerife Walking Festival have positioned the event as one of the benchmarks for hiking throughout Europe. In the last edition, held in 2019, it brought together 200 participants of more than 10 different nationalities, including tour operators, travel agents, the media and the final audience. An annual event that has allowed Tenerife to be placed on the international map for the practice of this activity.
Hiking is the most popular sporting activity for visitors to Tenerife. In 2019, before the health crisis, some 580,000 tourists practiced it (9.7% of the total on the island). Some 28.5% of all tourists who go hiking are Germans. Other relevant markets are the national, the French and, to a lesser extent, the British. Teide National Park is the preferred location for 22% of hikers. The Anaga Rural Park is also an outstanding enclave of activity.

La Sardina de la Inclusión celebrates 15 editions with a virtual format
![]() |
La Laguna celebrates the Sardine of Inclusion, a day to make disability visible |
Music and Carnival, the perfect therapy for the integration of people with disabilities, which the Sardine of Inclusion intends, has grown to reach 15 editions. This year, under the slogan "Don't let a pandemic stop us!", it will take place in a virtual format and full of surprises.
The Sardine of Inclusion started in a Special Education Centre in the north of Tenerife, where the benefits of music are used to work with students who present different pathologies, appreciating an important evolution in their quality of life. The multidisciplinary workshops are complemented with music therapy, up to the point of taking to the streets to show the work. What better date than Carnival? The evolution has been enormous. Last year people came from all parts of Tenerife and other islands with the change to La Laguna as the setting. It is always celebrated on the Wednesday following the Sardine of Santa Cruz. On February 24th, the XV Sardine of Inclusion will be faithful to its appointment.
The pandemic has shown up many deficiencies for people with reduced mobility; difficulties in nursing homes; isolation of deaf people with masks, and so on.
The usual march through La Laguna, which in 2020 gathered some 8,000 people shortly before the declaration of the state of alarm, isn't possible, but the pandemic will not stop the celebration of the XV edition of La Sardina de la Inclusión (Sardine of Inclusion).
The social and educational reality of the global pandemic changes the structure of the event, "but not the hope," say the organisers. Online development will be a key part of this event that includes poster and photography contests. Also in virtual format, and, as a novelty, is a batukada contest where social distancing will not silence the sound of the drums. Participate on social networks and on the website www.sardinadelainclusion.com.
Protest Song
Another novelty is a collective protest-song, where each group, centre, collective or murga that wants to participate can do so. The theme is the difficulties encountered by people with disabilities on a daily basis with a tribute to disabled athletes. Bambones, Diablos Locos, Zeta Zetas, Mamelucos and Marchilongas have confirmed their presence in the project.

Parade of Vintage Cars in Santa Cruz

Vintage Cars congregate at the Parque García Sanabria |
On the last day of carnival in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, every year since 1970, the Club de Automoviles Antiguos de Tenerife (Vintage Car Club in Tenerife) has met at the Parque García Sanabria, with cars on show from around 10 am and then a parade around the city from 12 noon. This should have taken place today, Sunday 21 February 2021. Whether the parade can take place with people suitably isolated in their individual vehicles, or whether it is suspended to avoid crowds of onlookers from gathering, we're unsure. Probably not.
For the 50th anniversary in 2020, together with the president of the club, just over a hundred people rode in 51 vintage cars, dressed in costumes of the era of the 1920s and 1930s, when the importation of vehicles from England and the United States, for 'a particular tariff', allowed Tenerife to motorize long before the island had roads. The highlight of the day was a 1935 Bentley that had taken part in the Le Mans 24 Hours. More images from 2020.

Which is the best Tenerife carnival parade?
![]() |
The five main Carnival Parades in Santa Cruz de Tenerife in 2020 |
This year, of course, none of the carnival parades have been able to take place and right now, we have no idea if or when they will be able to do so in their previous formats again. But should they do so, which one is best? If you could only go to one of them, which one should you choose? Hopefully, this will help. These five are the main parades:
Cabalgata anunciadora - Opening Parade
There is a special sort of excitement surrounding the first parade in the streets each year on the Friday before Shrove Tuesday. And it takes place in the evening, which imparts a different atmosphere than daytime parades, although it starts early enough for kids to see the start of it at least. At the end of the parade are the many decorated vehicles - busses and trucks made into truly mobile discos - and it goes on for around four hours or so and rolls right into the first night of the orchestras and other night time entertainments that go on until dawn. The fun fair should be operating and there will be plenty of street food, so you can get a flavour of everything. The only downside to choosing the Opening Parade as the only one to go to, would be then wanting to stay for all the rest once you're hooked!Ritmo y Armonía - Rhythm & Harmony
Coso Apoteosis - Carnival Main Parade
Entierro de la Sardina - Burial of the Sardine
Coso Infantil - Children's Carnaval Parade
If you just want to dip your toe into carnival waters and are not quite ready for the big parades or hedonistic all-nighters, or you have kids yourself, then this is the parade for you. See the junior carnival queen and her court, as well as a plethora of small people in the cutest costumes. The Children's Carnival Parade opens the final weekend of carnival.Obviously, there's no 'best', it depends on who you are and what you like.

Remembering the Carnival of Los Gigantes 1995 |
Santiago del Teide Council are running their First Photography Contest, entitled "Remembering the Carnival", which is open to all people over 18 years old resident and registered in the municipality (the deadline for entries is February 26, at 2:00 p.m.), being mandatory that the image to be presented is from any of the editions of the Carnival of Los Gigantes.
Included in the contest announcement was the information that, "The aspiring works that have been sent by email and that duly comply with the requirements established in these bases will be published, accompanied by their corresponding motto or title, on the social networks of the consistory during the celebration of the Virtual Carnival 2021 events, highlighting that said publication process will be executed and supervised, in any case, by a member of the organization."
In other words, we can deduce that Los Gigantes is holding a Virtual Carnival 2021.
The jury's decision on the photographs will take place on February 27, and will be notified through a press release, website and municipal social networks.

Sardine on the way to it's cremation 2020 |
Today, Ash Wednesday, 17 February 2021, should be the date of the blasphemous and surreal - but very fun - Entierro de la Sardina (Burial of the Sardine), but of course, because of the COVID pandemic, carnival will not be taking place. This year virtual carnival events take place between 17 February and 7 March, culminating in a television gala, ‘Santa Cruz, Corazón del Carnaval’ (Santa Cruz, Heart of Carnival).

Sarcophagus of Sister María de Jesús |
The nuns of the convent of Santa Catalina de Siena in La Laguna had planned to open their doors as usual this year so that the faithful and curious could view the incorrupted body of Sor María de Jesús on 15 February, the 290th anniversary of her death and the following Sunday - albeit with numerous security measures in place - however, in a post to their Facebook page on Friday, said, "We regret to inform you that because we have not received permission from the Health Dept. today, and therefore, for health reasons beyond the control of the Monastery, WE HAVE DECIDED TO SUSPEND THE VISIT to the sarcophagus of La Siervita and the events scheduled for this year (Monday 15 and Sunday 21)."
"Although we cannot come to visit her personally, we do ask that you continue to ask her intercession so that this pandemic ends soon [...] Through our Facebook we will do everything possible so that you can see it live on Monday the 15th during the day."
Sister María de Jesús, known as La Siervita, was born in 1643 in El Sauzal. After various personal vicissitudes, she ended up in La Laguna, where she entered the convent of Santa Catalina de Siena, where she passed away on February 15, 1731.
The video below, made originally to promote the openings, goes give you a glimpse of the defunct nun, as well as a look inside the convent and its superb architecture.
