The Cruces de Mayo (May Crosses) in Granada | May 2018
Is one of the most famous festivals in Andalusia. In early May, the city’s neighbourhoods, streets and squares put up their flower adorned crosses in a space where they also gather traditional embroidered shawls, local pottery and items made using marquetry, a traditional craft of Arabic origin from the Alhambra. The women wear Flamenco dresses and the men wear shorts, and on the “day of the cross” visitors can enjoy the best wine, the best folkloric dance and lots of laughter.
