One of the 19 nominees for Queen of the Carnival of Santa Cruz shows off her outfit on the main stage during carnival celebrations in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, on the Spanish Canary island of Tenerife, on February 27, 2019. The dresses can be more than five meters high and weigh over 80 kilos. The over month-long event began on February 1 and finishes on March 10 with orchestras playing Caribbean and Brazilian rhythms throughout the festivities that range from the election of the Carnival Queen, the Junior Queen and the Senior Queen, to children and adult murgas (satirical street bands), comparsas (dance groups) and performances on the streets.
