1. Experience the vibrant Carnival celebrations
Tenerife's Carnival represents one of the world's most spectacular fiestas, featuring big, brash, outrageous celebrations with flamboyant costumes and all-night street parties. The events take place during February or March, with Santa Cruz hosting the biggest celebration attracting 100,000 people nightly.
