Paloma Cázares Ruiz, spokesperson for the Carnival organizers, said the group's advice is important since it is made up of islanders who have a been heavily involved in previous years' events. The full program with confirmed dates is also now available for Carnival 2009, the main parades will take place from February 21 to 24, 2009. |
