The Puerto de la Cruz Canival on Tenerife is a historic and cultural event. Puntoinfo puts it this way:

The carnival has been declared of international tourist interest, being one of the longest-standing carnivals of the island. Even during the time when the fiesta was banned

Paloma Beach has very nice summary of the atmosphere at the Carnaval de Santa Cruz:

For around 2 weeks every February the streets of Santa Cruz are filled with beautiful girls, amazing costumes, dancing and singing. The carnival starts with the election of the Carnival Queen and ends with the burial of the sardine
