Here is Estela Pérez Galindo again. Despite her impressive performance, she did not make it into the top three.

And here's Silvia Hernández Pérez once again. She was my favourite - not just because of her colourful costume, but also because of her spirited performance. Unfortunately, however, she didn't make it into the top three either.

The Gala de la Reina has once again shown that Puerto de la Cruz, the 'little sister', can certainly hold its own against the capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, when it comes to carnival.
