Hello isbael! The San Bartolomé city council does not have public information, so we do not know. Sorry
Hello, do you have any knowledge of special buses that take you to Playa del Inglés on the day of the ride from Puerto Rico??

Hello, do you still not know anything about the tickets for the drag gala?
I have called the town hall (who say they know “nothing”), the festivities department (which does not pick up the phone), the tourist office (who also know “nothing”), lastly by email, to which they have not yet answered, and finally the organisers of the carnival events who also know “nothing”.
I don't know if the tickets are especially for staff who work in that town hall, their family and friends, or if it is chaos about which there is no communication...
It seems disappointing to me that the city council does not inform the population.
Hello Jose!! We don't know either... if we found out we would have shared it here, but yes, it's a bit of a mess 🙁
What day, time and place will be the distribution of invitations for the Maspalomas 2023 drag gala???
Hello Fermin! We don't know... sorry, we're sorry we can't help. Better to ask the official body!
Thank you very much for the information about the program!! Do you know if the drag gala in other years was free access or does it normally require admission? The thing is that no matter how much I search, I can't find anything about it and I wouldn't want to miss it...And from the city council, I have contacted them several times and they have not responded 🙁
Hi Alex!! The truth is that I do not have 100% accurate information on this topic because we personally have never been. Our friends from the south tell us that the stands have an entrance, but that you can really see it from anywhere else as long as you find space...
We hope we have helped.
All the best
