29 comparsas as well as the Carnival Queen and Drag Queen’s floats
participated in the same.

Prize-giving took place at the Centro Cultural Virgen del Carmen before a public
completely devoted to the Carnival.
The contest parade lasted for over two hours and a half, and counted with the
participation of 29 comparsas. In total, the Torrevieja’s 2010 Carnival
gathered in the city streets over one thousand dressed up people conforming
comparsas and groups or participating individually. As usual, the Ramón Gallud
street, turned into a big catwalk, gathered thousands of people attending to it
all along the street.
The Colombian comparsa participated as well, out of contest, by recreating its
country’s culture and folklore.
