CARNIVAL 2009 PUERTO DEL CARMEN
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008
GREEEEAAAATTTT Carnival is nearly here!!! I found out the dates for the Puerto del Carmen carnival 2009. This year from the 26th to the 28th of February, party, party, party!!! On the 26th it will start the whole festival, the "Murgas" those groups that normally take advantage of the funny party to criticize politicians and some decisions that they have made. Gala party of "Carnival Queen", Gala party of "Drag Queen, etc...
The best date, at least for me, is the parade, which it will be on the 28th of February. This day, you can enjoy the best parade ever seen as there will be all the "Murgas", " Comparsas", musicians, the Carnival Queen, and all the people dancing with their best fancy dresses on the middle of the street. This is surely worth to be seen.
Yesterday, 1st of October there began to work the urban buses in Playa Blanca.The first service departs from the Bus station at 6:30 and comes to the same one at 22:00 hs.
There are over a hundred restaurants with food that suits every taste and every pocked from fast food to gourmet. There are many shops, boutiques and bazaars stocked with everything from duty free, electronics, to local arts and shoes or even jewellery.
The beaches are very long, you can appreciate how the ocean reaches every part of Puerto del Carmen. There is sun most of the time, and is the town where most of the people choose to stay in holidays. There are loads of hotels and apartments to choose from.
