Explore Tenerife's Winter Carnival

For many Brits, thoughts of winter conjure up images of snowy and cold landscapes. However, for much of the world Christmas and the winter months are warm and dry. For those wanting some winter sun there is nothing better than a trip to the Mediterranean, and individuals looking for a February getaway can enjoy Tenerife's winter carnival.

The biggest carnival in the Canary Islands, the Tenerife winter carnival takes place for a month between February 15th and March 13th. Held in the capital of the island, Santa Cruz, it is the perfect retreat for those wanting to escape the British winter chill and take advantage of the Mediterranean temperatures. One of the largest street parties in Europe, the main attraction is through the city's main street. However, with parties and celebrations occurring across the island there is something for everyone to experience no matter where they may be staying.

Individuals or families looking to getaway from the cold in February and March will be able to snap up this brilliant opportunity to holiday in the warm whilst also enjoying an annually celebrated festival. A range of flights are available from UK airports including Cardiff, Birmingham, and London Gatwick, allowing passengers easy access to this popular island in the middle of its festival season. And with flights only taking a few hours, winter holidaymakers can be laying in the sun in no time at all.
