The Sardinísima de Barlovento emerges as one of the most outstanding events on the island of La Palma. This year, the theme of the Barlovento sardine is centered on "sweets," as highlighted in the promotional poster with the slogan "Savor Life," a creative work by Besay Viña González. The municipality's carnival festivities will kick off on Friday morning and conclude in the early hours of Sunday. The celebrations will start with a carnival parade and the opening of kiosks for tasting fried sardines and local wine, setting the stage for musical performances, batucadas, the corsa race, and the emblematic sardine burial procession.
