Dia de la Cruz

Another fiesta happened on Saturday…Day of the Cross. Approximately 45 crosses made of flowers were set up for display across the city, and everyone went out to see them, a lot of women and little girls displaying their fancy flamenco dresses. The day is more a competition of who has the best decorated cross display than anything religious.

One of the displays we saw...

We made our way through the “cross crowds” to Abuelas (Miguel’s Grandma’s) where Evan was playing with his friend. Here is Abuela with Elisa and Ellie.
