Santa Cruz features lots of music! Murgas are singing jesters, Comparsas perform together all dressed as one theme and Rondallas all play stringed instruments.
Volcano Teide in Tenerife is the second most visited national park in the entire world. At more than 3’000 metres above sea level it casts the largest sea shadow in the world.
Carnival Queen costumes are full scale builds weighing 500kg and often have wheels. Think Masked Singer but even bigger! The theme for 2025 is the Spirit of Africa.
The Canary bird was named after the islands – not the other way round! The name means ‘canine‘ as the first settlers were said to be greeted by dogs but some believe these were seals!
Your subcamp team is here to look after you and make sure you have the most awesome Norjam in 2025!
