This year’s Carnival week was especially vibrant. As always, the north of Tenerife came alive with colour and music — and at Tigaiga we experienced it in a truly special way.
On Tuesday, Maya the Bee and her friends delighted our guests, bringing joy to both children and adults. It was a heartwarming moment that connected generations.
In the afternoon, 22 classic cars arrived at the hotel after touring the Orotava Valley. Many of the drivers are long-standing friends of the house. Sharing lunch together brought back fond memories of the classic car rallies we once organised through the valley — a beautiful reminder of tradition and friendship.
On Ash Wednesday, dinner at Restaurant Jardín became a unique experience as our traditional “widows” appeared, keeping alive a long-standing Tenerife Carnival custom. Guests enjoyed their meal immersed in authentic carnival spirit.
In the following days, even our garden joined the celebration. A group of ikebana specialists created a stunning ephemeral exhibition, transforming part of our green space into a refined artistic display.
For us, Carnival is more than a celebration. It is identity, memory and shared joy — and we are always grateful to experience it together with our guests at Tigaiga.
