Transport
På biljetten står "vi går till fots en hel del" Vi uppfattade att guiden skulle gå med. Vi frågade guiden som var kvar på bussen, vart vi skulle gå och fick svaret följ de utklädda människorna. Vilket vi gjorde en stund men fick roama på mobilen och förstå att St. Catalinatorget låg åt helt andra hållet. De vi följde, gick troligen till startområdet. Så fel info och väldigt dyrt för bussresa utan guide på plats! Och för lång tid i Las Palmas, när vi sett paraden var kl. 16.30, hemresa 20.15!
The brashest and most flamboyant carnival in Europe is right on your doorstep here in Gran Canaria. Join us for an extravaganza unlike anything you've seen before with this exclusive trip to Las Palmas Carnival. Denise, one of our local guides, says, 'Our carnival has been going strong since long before Rio even existed. It only happens once a year – so if you're on the island, this is a great opportunity to experience it first-hand'.
We'll pick you up and transfer you to the heart of Las Palmas, where you'll join throngs of locals and visitors for a street party like you've never seen. The locals take this extravagant affair seriously, and it sure shows. Expect plenty of skimpy outfits shaking along to salsa beats, vibrant headpieces, flawless makeup, and a seemingly endless procession of bands and dancers zigzagging through the streets.
In the days building up to Mardi Gras, there are competitions for the Queen of the Carnival and the most OTT Drag Queen. Catch sight of them at the parade as well the streams of buffoonish street bands and cabaret dancers – it's a real feast for the eyes. And, once you've partied the evening away, you'll avoid the hustle and bustle of taxis and buses with our return transfer to your hotel. Glitter, glamour and lots of fun – a day out with a difference.
