Peacock wings, rain clouds and Venetian gowns at Tenerife's carnival

Some are colourful and voluminous... Über den Button "NÄCHSTES BILD >" geht's weiter... ...others are minimalist - the costumes at Carnival on Tenerife. Still others are making a statement. Here's a shout-out to the one that's closed due to sewage issues Playa Jardín in Puerto de la Cruz raus. In the Hauptstadt Santa Cruz geht es derweil gediegen zu. This gentleman is elaborately and very smartly dressed. Outstanding costumes are part of it too. Less than ten metres on, the theme is a completely different one again. Five eyes, but one smile - that's what these "monsters" show us. With the dance groups, the outfits are especially extravagant every year. And yet the costumes hold up even under the strain of fast movements. Schauerlich geht es hier zu. And this group cleans up afterwards. Here the brand offshoot. Wilma Flintstone waves from her own float. A glowing peacock eye has also mingled with the carnival-goers. Creatures that can wear tiger print: tigers! (Okay, and this guy.) A rain cloud provides a bit of precipitation. And cowgirl Barbie is in on it too. Venetian robes right... ...on Tenerife. A nod to the film "Avatar". And once again Italian flair at the Canarian carnival. Bunt geht es auch bei dieser Gruppe zu. And the most important thing: always smile!
