In the words of Alberto Castilla, Councilor for Festivities of the municipality, it is right and necessary that Puerto de la Cruz retakes the prominence that it had years ago with respect to the mask festival and its role in promoting tourism: Puerto de la Cruz He was a pioneer in the celebration of Carnival. The first documented references date back to 1797, although there is evidence of its origin sometime in the seventeenth century. It is, therefore, one of the carnivals with the greatest roots and history of all those that exist in the Canary Islands. This fact, added to the enclave of the northern municipality and its tourist character, make this celebration unique.
