Tenerife is an island that celebrates life all year round. From heartfelt seafaring traditions to international festivals that attract visitors from around the globe, there is always a reason to enjoy its unique atmosphere. Among the events that best represent the island’s spirit are the spectacular Santa Cruz Carnival, the charming July Festivities in Puerto de la Cruz, and the active Tenerife Walking Festival.

Santa Cruz Carnival: colour and worldwide joy
Considered the second most important carnival in the world after Rio de Janeiro, the Santa Cruz Carnival fills the streets with music, costumes and dazzling parades. Dance groups, floats and lively competitions create an unforgettable atmosphere that draws thousands of visitors every year. It is a vibrant celebration that reflects the island’s multicultural and joyful character.
A great place to stay and enjoy the festivities in comfort is BLUESEA Interpalace in Puerto de la Cruz, offering a peaceful retreat by the sea in northern Tenerife.

July Festivities in Puerto de la Cruz: a tribute to the sea
Every July, Puerto de la Cruz honours the Virgin of Carmen, the patron saint of sailors. The most emotional moment is the sea procession, when fishermen and visitors accompany the statue on its journey to the water. Street parties, concerts and cultural events fill the city with energy for several days.
To experience these festivities to the fullest, BLUESEA Costa Jardín & Spa offers relaxation, excellent dining and a prime location close to the city centre.

Tenerife Walking Festival: nature at its best
For hiking and outdoor lovers, the Tenerife Walking Festival is a must. Held in spring, it attracts hikers from all over Europe who come to explore the island’s extraordinary landscapes — from coastal trails with Atlantic views to routes through the Anaga Mountains or the foothills of Mount Teide.
After a full day of walking, BLUESEA Lagos de César in Puerto de Santiago is ideal for resting comfortably in the south of the island.
