Carnival Queen in Santa Cruz de Tenerife in 2020 was Sara Cruz Teja, with "Sentir" (Feel), designed by Sedomir Rodríguez de la Sierra and sponsored by hypermarket Centro Comercial Alcampo La Laguna.
In 2020, the court was made of:
- First Maid of Honour: María José Chinea Cabrera, with the costume ‘Un nuevo amanecer’ (A new dawn), designed by Jorge González Santana, sponsored by bottled water brand Fuentealta.
- Second Maid of Honour: Laura García Repo with ‘El secreto de Lola’ (Lola's Secret) by Borja Abreu, representing distiller, Ron la Indiana.
- Third Maid of Honour: Judith Miguélez Díaz, with ‘Mararía’ (Mararía (1973) is the most famous novel by Canarian writer Rafael Arozarena) by Daniel Pages, sponsored by McDonald’s and newspaper El Día.
- Fourth Maid of Honour: Elisabeth Ledesma Laker with ‘Estas cuatro palabras’ (These four words) by Santi Castro, representing Centro Comercial Añaza Carrefour.
The theme of Santa Cruz de Tenerife in 2020 was The Flirty Fifties. Also known as "The Calima Carnival", due to the suspended dust from the Sahara that covered the entire Canary archipelago during the first days of the street carnival.
During the gala, directed by designers Marcos Marrero and María Díaz, which began with an overture based on the popular song "Santa Cruz en Carnaval", the 16 candidates each paraded on stage twice. In the final moment, only eight finalists took to the stage, because despite the large size of the stage, it was too small to host all of the candidates at the same time. The gala featured performances by Paulina Rubio and Soraya Arnelas, who, in addition to singing, served as master of ceremonies with Alexis Hernández and Pedro Rodríguez.
