200.000 people

Sunday, February 18th, 2007
Yesterday, was the main carnival parade in Las Palmas which, according to the city's "local police" mobilized about 200.000 people between viewers and participants. Pirates, policemen, prostitues, devils, men dressed as women, politicians, judges, attorneys and a huge et cetera lived up this years parade, which started at 17:00 at the "Castillo de la Luz" in the area known as "el Puerto". 90 floats and decorated cars took part in this picturesque event, makin it come to an end around midnight. The animators on the floats also mentioned how well and 'sweet' the parade was going in contrast to the 'sourness' Tenerife had to be going through due to the controversy created at the Carnival Queen Gala which was directed by dancer Rafael 'Amargo' (which actually means SOUR). :D Well, that unfortunately, will teach us not to bring people in who do not understand our carnival.
