Carnival in Fuerteventura

Los Achipencos
 

A huge desire for fun is what causes the participants in this fiesta to put together the odd craft on which they try to stay afloat, creating a kind of parade by sea. Although you might not be game to take part, you can have a great time watching the adventures of these unusual Carnival-goers.

Los Arretrancos
 

A pair of colourful painted boards, four wheels, a costume and a little glitter are all you need to take part in this unique race reserved for the more intrepid. A good dose of ingenuity and a sense of humour are also required to create the most original “vehicles” and win the competition.
