Families looking for a little Latin flavour to warm up their winter might like to head to
Puerto de la Cruz for the resort's annual carnival.
Every year, the carnival runs from late January to mid-February, ensuring that the season's celebrations do not end on New Year's Eve.
The festivities traditionally kick off with the naming of the carnival queen, typically on January 31st, according to Whatsonwhen.
Closing the festival is the Domingo de Pinata, a day filled with parades and colourful costume.
Other events taking place during the
Puerto de la Cruz Carnival include the main attraction - the cabalgata - and the burying of the sardine.
While in
Puerto de la Cruz for the festival, holidaymakers might like to visit some of the other attractions at the resort.
Canaries-live.com includes Loro Parque and Bananera El Guanche among the best sights to see.
