Then there are others who are making a statement. Here's a shout-out to Playa Jardín in Puerto de la Cruz, which has been closed due to sewage issues. Meanwhile, things are proceeding in a dignified manner in the capital, Santa Cruz. This gentleman is dressed in elaborate and very elegant attire. There are also some excellent costumes on show. Barely ten metres further on, the subject is already completely different. These 'monsters' have five eyes, but they're all smiling.

Creatures that can have a tiger-striped coat: tigers! (OK, and this one.) A rain cloud is bringing some rain. And Cowgirl Barbie is joining in too. Venetian robes in the middle... ...in Tenerife. A tribute to the film "Avatar". And once again, a touch of Italian flair at the Canary Islands Carnival. This group is a colourful lot too. And most importantly: always laugh!
