A very important event
The Carnaval de la Gomera mostly takes place in San Sebastian, the capital of the island. Like on the other Canary Islands, it's a very important event, with spectacular parades. In 2008, the theme of the carnival was the thousand one nights, and the carnival queens - there are two, a child and an adult - wore stunning costumes. There are prizes for the best floats and the best costumes. Shrove Tuesday is an important day, where sardines are eaten on the beach. It's a great holiday that's worth seeing, though it's hard to stay on La Gomera, because the island is small and hotels quickly fill up.
