For his part, the first deputy mayor, Alejandro Marichal, emphasizes that “the Maspalomas International Carnival is much more than a celebration, it is an economic engine for the municipality, capable of generating activity and opportunities.”
He also emphasizes that "when the carnival gains strength, the municipality does too: more activity, more opportunities and more employment are generated for our people."
The chosen theme now marks the beginning of the creative and organizational development of the Maspalomas International Carnival 2027, an edition that is once again built from participation and with a clear orientation towards its tourist and economic projection.
