Puerto de la Cruz throws the island’s second-biggest carnival, picking up the party once Santa Cruz winds down. Its signature event is the Mascarita Ponte Tacón, a riotous high-heels sprint where competitors race in drag and stilettos. Expect costumed parades, open-air concerts and a seafront atmosphere that draws visitors from across the north of Tenerife.
