The start of the German Carnival - The traditional and great party on the Gay Beach in Maspalomas...

The traditional beginning of German Carnival -
The Gay Beach on 11/11

It is just tradition in Maspalomas and a fixed date each year...
And this for many, many years, long before the Winter Pride was born...

No program, no official event, but each year a great day...
And so it was (how else could it be) full, full, the fullest - And it might have been even more people comparing it to past years.

The weather was actually perfect, despite the strong wind, which made it a very sandy party -
But everything else was just great...

Important to mention: There were many, many nations represented on the Gay Beach and many also dressed...

The beginning of the German Carnival in Gran Canaria - International...

Eccentric costumes, high heels, Prosecco and beer - The passing tourists could see a lot again and have much to tell back home.

Meanwhile people still celebrating on the beach and then hopefully all are ready for the second Pride Walk (Parade)
of Winter Pride.

Scheduled beginning is at 4:30pm in front of Hotel Riu Palace and the walk will end at/in the Yumbo Center.
It will be followed by a massive Schlagerparty to celebrate Winter Pride and the start of German Carnival...

There is no need of more words, we have been trying to post many impressions and photos from this "beach party" -
Have fun...
