LAS PALMAS DE GRAN CANARIA CARNIVAL 2025

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria continue the main carnival celebrations until 16 March 2025. The theme for this year is ‘Las Olimpiadas’, The Olympics.

All events are held in Parque Santa Catalina unless otherwise stated

FRIDAY 21 FEBRUARY:

21:00 Adult Comparsas contest and children’s Comparsas exhibition
The comparsa is an icon of Carnival. With colourful costumes, to the rhythm of batucada and Latin music, the members of the comparsas liven up both the streets and the stage of the festivities. The adult troupe competition is one of the classic events of the Carnival, the first edition of which was held in 1978. The competition is attended by groups from different neighbourhoods of the city who compete for three prizes for performance, three prizes for costumes and one prize for rhythm, orchestration and harmony. The winners receive a ticket to perform at the main galas of the festival.

SATURDAY 22 FEBRUARY:

20:45 Murgas Final
The carnival murga competition in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is one of the festival’s historic events, the first edition of which dates back to 1977. The murgas, groups that in their songs criticize the different social and political events that occur throughout the year, bring an ironic and satirical note to the festival. In addition, they participate very actively and are present at its most important events. They experience the contest as the event for which they prepare in their rehearsals throughout the year.

SUNDAY 23 FEBRUARY:

12:00 Carnival Canine contest
One of the most popular events in recent years is the ‘Canine Carnival’, a parade of dogs dressed in harmony with their owners. Imagination, combined with respect for animals and their well-being, is the only limit to a contest that has been held for more than a dozen years. The ‘Canine Carnival’ is held every year during the day, and the Santa Catalina park is filled with people who often come with their pets dressed up, even if they do not participate in the contest. They all go up on stage at the end of the event.

21:00 Grand Dama contest
The ‘Gala de la Gran Dama‘ brings together the oldest candidates on the Santa Catalina stage. Presenters and artists in keeping with the tastes and preferences of this sector make this competition one of the most endearing in the programme. Its convocation is a further reflection of the transversal aspiration of the diversity of the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Carnival, which brings together in this contest several of the best designers of the festivities and candidates who demonstrate that the spirit of the Carnival never fades away.

ARTENARA | PATRON FESTIVITIES OF SAN MATÍAS & CARNIVAL

San Matías Festival 2025 – Artenara’s Timeless Celebration

The highest-altitude village on Gran Canaria, Artenara, welcomes visitors to celebrate its Patronal Festivities in honor of San Matías from February 20 to March 1, 2025.

Artenara, known for its stunning mountain landscapes and deep-rooted traditions, honors San Matías the Apostle, its patron saint since the 17th century. In 1996, he was also declared the Patron of the Pinares de Gran Canaria, recognizing his significance to the island’s forests and natural heritage.

This is a magical time to visit Artenara, where history, culture, and faith come together in a breathtaking setting. The town, perched at 1,270 meters above sea level, offers spectacular viewpoints, such as Mirador de La Atalaya and Unamuno’s Viewpoint, along with fascinating sites like the Cave House Museum and the San Matías Church. Artenara is the smallest municipality by population on the island, yet it boasts the most caves in its territory, adding to its unique charm.

How to Get There

Artenara is an hour’s scenic drive from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, with winding mountain roads that lead you to the heart of the island. If you’re up for an adventure, you can hike up through the UNESCO-listed Sacred Mountains for an unforgettable experience.

Event Highlights

Artenara’s Unique Carnival Twist

Saturday, February 22 – Carnival 2025

Artenara’s Carnival traditions are unlike any other, with one of the most curious customs being the Burial of the Lizard (Entierro del Lagarto).

  • 1:00 PM – The Traída del Lagarto (Arrival of the Lizard) kicks off at Plaza de San Matías.
  • 2:30 PM – Live concert by the band Tío Matt.
  • 4:00 PM – Family fun with inflatable attractions at Alameda Alcalde Severiano Luján Cabrera.
  • 7:30 PM – Entierro del Lagarto (Burial of the Lizard), a festive parade led by batucada drummers from Plaza de San Matías to La Atalaya viewpoint.
  • 9:00 PM – Carnival Party! With music from D’Music and prizes for the best costumes.

Sunday, February 23 – The Main Festive Day

• 12:00 PM – Solemn Eucharist at the Church of San Matías, featuring the voices of Voces de Tejeda.
• 1:00 PM – Religious Procession through the village, accompanied by the Banda Juvenil de Música de Firgas. At La Atalaya, the saint blesses the fields in a poetic ceremony.
• 1:30 PM – Reading of the Proclamation of the Pine Forests by Carlos J. Velázquez Padrón, followed by an homage ceremony recognizing environmental contributions.
• 2:00 PM – Puntos Cubanos (a traditional musical storytelling performance) with Emilio Sardiñas (Cuba) and Yeray Rodríguez.
• 2:30 PM – Brindis (Toast) & Folk Dance with live music by Buena Onda in Alameda Alcalde Severiano Luján Cabrera.

A Journey Through Time & Nature

Beyond the festivities, Artenara holds profound historical and natural significance. The village sits within the UNESCO-listed Risco Caído and Sacred Mountains of Gran Canaria, an area that preserves the legacy of the Amazigh people (Berbers) from North Africa, who thrived here in isolation for over 1,500 years.

The dramatic Caldera de Tejeda, visible from many viewpoints, reminds visitors of the island’s volcanic origins, while the cave homes and ancient sanctuaries speak to centuries-old traditions that still shape life in Artenara today.

Whether you come for the religious devotion, the lively music and dance, or the surreal beauty of the mountain landscapes, the Fiestas de San Matías offers a glimpse into the soul of Gran Canaria.

The British Cemetery of Las Palmas, a serene resting place dating back to the early 19th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of the “British Colony” on Gran Canaria.
Established to accommodate Protestant burials at a time when non-Catholics could not be interred in local cemeteries, this site is home to the graves of mariners, merchants, and residents, as well as those just passing through this key stopover for British trade routes to and from Africa, India, Asia, and Australia, all of whom played a role in the island’s rich international heritage.
 
This Saturday, 22nd February, The British Club’s President, Betty Burgess—one of the most knowledgeable and long standing guides and figures of note in the local British community—will lead a guided tour of the cemetery. Join us as we explore the stories behind the tombstones, uncovering the lives and legacies of those laid to rest in this historic enclave.

The need for a dedicated cemetery arose when one Benjamin Walter was denied burial for his wife in the city’s Catholic cemetery. On February 9, 1829, she was buried outside the city walls according to Protestant rites, a controversial event documented in records held at the British Consulate.
 
In response, by the early 1830s, British residents and the Vice-Consul secured land for a cemetery. The British government contributed £50, conditional on local residents matching the amount. The Las Palmas City Council granted land in San José, then outside the old walled city.
 
Construction began in 1834, making the British Cemetery the oldest British institution in the Canary Islands.
 
Founding members included Samuel Bishop, James & Frederick Manly, Robert Warrand & Clarence Houghton, George & James Swanston, Thomas Miller, Alexander Cochran, James Wood, and Vice-Consul George Anstice, who contributed 308 pesos (£50), with the British government funding the remainder. Founders reserved burial plots for their families as compensation.
 
The first burials in 1835 were sailor G. Williams (December 4) and Mary Swanston, wife of James Swanston (December 25). The last burial was recorded in 2005. The cemetery contains graves of several British families, names known well here on the island including Miller, Blandy, Fisher, Park, and Pilcher, as well as sailors and health-seekers from various nationalities.
 
Between May 1903 and April 1904, 13 tourists and 6 sailors were buried there.
 
In 1874, British Consul Robert Houghton, who oversaw the cemetery, refused an American consul’s request to bury a U.S. citizen in Las Palmas, citing limited space for British residents and new Spanish laws allowing Protestant burials in public cemeteries. This decision sparked controversy, leading to Houghton’s resignation after 37 years.
 
The cemetery, initially rectangular, expanded in 1888, 1905, and 1963, adapting to the terrain. Its entrance features a chapel dedicated to St. Joseph, built in 1905, and the cemetery wall was completed in 1902. By 1912, its area expanded to 641m², and today it covers 1,815.83m².

This custom was so relaxed that, despite being offered free of charge in the societies, the bakeries of the town opened their doors in the early morning after a great dance to offer the carnival-goers such traditional food”
