More than 50,000 Indians take La Palma
Carnaval celebrations in Santa Cruz de La Palma are a bit different, with a talcum powder battle that is enacted in the city's streets. Around 50,000, dressed in white clothing, arrived to celebrate and represent the arrival of the "Indians": families and old friends who had sought their fortune in Cuba and returned to the island ostentatiously displaying their new wealth. This unique parody, which was started in the 1960's and has become part of the identity of Carnaval celebrations in La Palma.
