Their second album, titled "Retales De Carnaval", was released in Spain on September 30, 2008, two years after the debut record.
As with the first record, this second album was entirely composed by Mai Meneses.

The first single to air on the radio was Tenia tanto que darte (I Had a Lot To Give You), and it premiered in August 2008.
On November of that same year, Tenia tanto que darte reached the number 1 position on the Spanish billboard chart (40 Principales), clinching it for two consecutive weeks.
For the video of the single, Nena Daconte worked along with producer Marc Lozano of Nanouk Films.

Tenia tanto que darte became Spain's Best Selling song of 2008 on iTunes.
Likewise, record sales made the album become Platinum in September 2009.
The song's music video has over 5 million views on YouTube.

El Aleph (The Aleph) was Nena Daconte's second single for this album.
The title of the song was based on the book written by Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges in 1949.

 
On the burning February morning Beatriz Viterbo died, after braving an agony that never for a single moment gave way to self-pity or fear, I noticed that the sidewalk billboards around Constitution Plaza were advertising some new brand or other of American cigarettes.
The fact pained me, for I realised that the wide and ceaseless universe was already slipping away from her and that this slight change was the first of an endless series.
The universe may change but not me, I thought with a certain sad vanity.
I knew that at times my fruitless devotion had annoyed her; now that she was dead, I could devote myself to her memory, without hope but also without humiliation.

The videoclip for El Aleph aired on February 26, 2009.
 It was directed by Juan Antonio Bayona (director of The Impossible and winner of the 2008 Premio Goya for El orfanato) and filmed at Barcelona's Meridiana district.
 This song reached the number 5 position in the Spanish billboard chart (40 principales).

The third single was Ay!
Amor (Oh!
Love) which came out almost simultaneously along with Nena Daconte's collaboration with Argentinian composer Coti in the song Perdóname.

The Retales de carnaval tour featured more than 150 live shows throughout Spain, including performances at the Teatro Español in Madrid and the Palacio de la Musica Catalana in Barcelona.
