Tenerife Carnival — Second Largest in the World Board

Souvenir cutting board capturing the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife — officially the second-largest carnival in the world after Rio de Janeiro and a candidate for UNESCO Intangible Heritage. For two weeks in February, the streets of Santa Cruz explode with music, dance, and spectacular costumes. The election of the Carnival Queen, whose dresses can weigh over 100 kg and stand 5 metres tall, is the highlight. The closing ‘Burial of the Sardine’ is a hilarious mock funeral procession. Over a million people celebrate in the streets. Pure Canarian joy.
