Puerto del Rosario is Fuerteventura's capital, so the carnival, which lasts for over 2 weeks each year, is usually attended mostly by residents and locals, not tourists.
Carnival season is a great time to visit Fuerteventura and you should participate in this event if you want to experience a Spanish festival outside the tourist resorts.
The residents of Puerto del Rosario have chosen 'Toys and the animated world' as an allegory for Carnival 2025 through a vote carried out on the municipal website.
In the words of the mayor of Puerto del Rosario, David de Vera, “a few weeks ago we ended the carnival and we are already laying the foundations for the 2025 carnival. We are getting ready for a festival that is increasingly having more impact at an island level and regional level as well, and requires months of preparation, especially for carnival groups and citizens who, knowing the allegory, will be able to begin to design their costumes.”
The carnival in Puerto del Rosario will consist of a total of 17 days of events and fiestas, where visitors and residents will take to the streets to enjoy the lively parties that make this carnival unique, such as the Arretrancos Race or the Achipencos Regatta.
