A majestic mirror on Santa Catalina\u2019s stage invites the city to fall under Carnival\u2019s spell and become a part of its tale.<\/p>\n

References to traditional stories, famous faces throughout Carnival\u2019s history, and elements such as a forest, castle and cathedral all made an appearance at the fiesta\u2019s epicentre, captivating Carnival\u2019s spectators.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner limit_content=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”16521″ media_lightbox=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”477664″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/2″ uncode_shortcode_id=”196584″][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes” text_color=”color-jevc” uncode_shortcode_id=”156355″ text_color_type=”uncode-palette”]Proclaimer[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_weight=”700″ uncode_shortcode_id=”599320″]Roberto Herrera[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_empty_space empty_h=”1″][vc_column_text text_color=”color-jevc” uncode_shortcode_id=”187184″ text_color_type=”uncode-palette”]Well-known Canarian television host, Roberto Herrera, heralded the 2020 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Carnival.<\/p>\n

His bond with Carnival in general and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in particular make him the perfect candidate to inaugurate the fiesta. Over the years, Roberto Herrera has been closely linked to Carnival, being the first host ever of the Drag Queen Gala back in 1998, and continues to add experience to his track record of hosting this international event on twelve different occasions, including the 2020 Gala with co-hosts Santi Mill\u00e1n and Pilar Rumeu.

Minerva is a 26-year-old from Fuerteventura, where she lived her entire life until moving to the capital of Gran Canaria to study law, at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. She is currently studying a master\u2019s degree and, during the little spare time she has, pursues one of her main passions: carnival.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner limit_content=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”16501″ media_lightbox=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ media_ratio=”one-one” uncode_shortcode_id=”522029″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/2″ uncode_shortcode_id=”196584″][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes” text_color=”color-jevc” uncode_shortcode_id=”212142″ text_color_type=”uncode-palette”]Drag Queen[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_weight=”700″ uncode_shortcode_id=”101094″]DRAG SETHLAS, Borja Casillas[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_empty_space empty_h=”1″][vc_column_text text_color=”color-jevc” uncode_shortcode_id=”134666″ text_color_type=”uncode-palette”]Borja Casillas really entered into the role that has made him famous: as Sethlas, he put on a spectacular show, which drew several rounds of applause from the audience.<\/p>\n

As well as his staging, dancing and impressive costume, he performed several pirouettes, surprisingly demanding for a drag artist in his high platform soles.
