Once upon a time at Carnival

The official opening of the carnival festivities, a spectacle in which the heroes are the crowd attending and the master of ceremonies. Masked revellers, murgas and comparsas and the candidates for Carnival Queen (Reina del Carnaval) and Drag Queen take part in the opening ceremony in Vegueta – all the traditional characters in the Carnival. The event is preceded by a parade that livens up the festival streets with batucadas – drum bands - and carnival rhythms.
