About 7000 spectators gathered in the Centro Internacional de Ferias y Congressos in Santa Cruz de Tenerife to watch the spectacle of the election of the carnival queen. The evening started with a procession of characters depicting the 400 year old history of carnival in Tenerife. To the soundtrack the rhythmic music that fuels carnival people in costume acted, danced, and strolled on the stage. Followed by groups of dancers, the comparsas and satirical singing groups, the Murgas. Then the 12 candidates with their huge costumes danced out in front of the audience and the judges chose 4 Damas and a Queen for the 2010 carnival.
