A nominee for queen of the Carnival of Santa Cruz shows off her outfit on the main stage in Santa Cruz de Tenerife on the Spanish Canary island of Tenerife on February 22, 2017. The costumes are more than five meters high and over 80 kilos in weight. The event began on February 1 and finishes on March 5 with orchestras playing Caribbean and Brazilian rhythms throughout the festivities that range from elections for the Carnival Queen, the Junior Queen and the Senior Queen, to children and adult murgas (satirical street bands), comparsas (dance groups) and street performances.
