The City Council of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, through the Autonomous Organization of Festivities and Recreational Activities (OAFAR), has taken the Carnival of Santa Cruz to Madrid, starring in the opening and closing of one of the most international events in the country: Wanderlust. The councilman of Festivities, Javier Caraballero, accompanied the queen of Carnival 2024, Corina Mrazek, her court of honor, the Bahitiare Bahia comparsa and the Maquinaria Band, to this internationally renowned promotional show.
Wanderlust is a meeting between professionals from the world of tourism in the center of Madrid that features music, entertainment and gastronomy, and has been held every year since 2017 coinciding with FITUR. This promotional event has chosen the Carnival of Santa Cruz as the undisputed protagonist of the night, giving this Festival of International Tourist Interest the value it has.
For Caraballero, being present at this event means “taking another step forward in the internationalization and promotion of our festival, making known its charms and the traditions that make us unique by the hand of the protagonists of the Carnival”, to which he added that he was pleasantly surprised by “the great admiration that there is beyond our borders about our carnival and the great expectation that it generates”.
This morning, the Queen of Carnival 2024, as well as the ladies of honor, accompanied the councilman of Festivities to the stand of the Canary Islands, where they will be present throughout the day to publicize the Carnival and distributing promotional flyers with the programming of this new edition 2025, which starts on January 31 with the opening gala.
