Gallery: an Ibiza carnival of all colours

The annual parade in pictures.

If there's one Spanish pastime that is loved across the island of Ibiza, it's the annual carnival celebrations. The February sunshine brought crowds out onto Ibiza Town's streets once again to enjoy the vibrant dance displays and fantastic costumes.

All manner of characters and creatures marched down Avenida de Santa Eulalia to the beat of pulsating rhythms. Onlookers waved and cheered on friends and family. Not an unhappy face could be seen on this glorious day.

When the parade reached its final destination and finished, participants and supporters headed for Reina Sofia Park. A large queue formed for the huge paella, which was freshly prepared for the hungry masses.

We went down to photograph all the day's highlights and join in the fun ourselves. Check out our favourite moments below.
