Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Spain), Jun 25 (EFE).- The Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival<\/strong><\/a> has returned this weekend with dancing and large crowds filling the streets since Thursday, after a two-year break because of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

According to the city council, around 800,000 people have joined the celebrations in the island\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n

Mayor Jose Manuel Bermudez<\/strong> was delighted with the festival, for which, he said, orchestras from the Canary Islands, comprising 40 companies and 400 musicians, were chosen, after two years of no work due to Covid-19.<\/p>\n
