Imperial Ice Stars consists of 25 ice skaters from several countries. Together they have collected more than 200 medals already. So you may definitely assume this will be a spectacular show. Tickets range from 19 to 45 euro and can be ordered here.

Happenings: Moscow Ballet

Mark your agenda, April 25th, because that's the day the Moscow Ballet visits Costa Adeje's Magma to perform Sleeping Beauty! The Moscow Ballet was founded in 1988 by the famous Russian choreographer Victor Smirnov-Golovanov. They performed for the first time in 1989 in Seoul, Korea, and ever since have become one of the most successful companies ever. And now they are coming to Tenerife. Reserve your tickets here!

Happenings: Carnaval

Carnaval, for those who have lived the event already, there is not much more to tell, for those who have never attended it, it might just be enough to tell you that the second biggest Carnaval in the world (yes, after the one in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is the one in Santa Cruz de Tenerife! It looks like this year's carnaval will again be a spectacular edition. Imagine thousands of people, colourful processions, insane costumes, fireworks, music, ... an event that will never be forgotten. You have no other choice than to attend the festivities!
