Torrevieja Carnival
Each year, dozens of comparsas (carnival groups) parade through the heart of Torrevieja, a mobilisation of more than 2000 people parading, dancing, and above all, living the Carnival, our town's party par excellence. It is they who bring passion, colour, rhythm, and life to the streets of the city of salt. Thanks to these people, Torrevieja vibrates with a UNIQUE, SPECIAL, and MAGICAL Carnival, different from all those around us, making it a benchmark for this celebration every year.
All of this led to the «Carnaval de Torrevieja» being declared of Provincial Tourist Interest in 2012, and in 2021, the Generalitat Valenciana declared it a Festival of Autonomous Tourist Interest within the Valencian Community.
From the Cultural Association of the Torrevieja Carnival, we want to share our love for our Carnival with everyone through this website; making it accessible, immediate, and current.
