Maspalomas Carnival
12th - 22nd March, 2009

Just as the carnival in the north is slowing down, we start 10 more days of carnival down here in the south, Maspalomas and Playa del Ingles. Most of the events take place in and around the largest commercial center which is also the gay center - The Yumbo.

The big nights here are February 15th for the drag queen competition and February 16th for the all-night street party. Expect thousands upon thousands of revellers for each event, lots of cute latino guys (and us tourists of course). On Feb 16th you'll be hard-pushed to find that many Spanish not dressed in costume, everyone really gets in the carnival mood here. 16th by day is the big street parade.
