On May 1st we went to see the “fiesta de las Cruces” in the barrio of Santa Cruz. The fiesta is held every year around the end of April and beginning of May. The oldest neighbourhood in is decorated in flower crosses and ornate decorations throughout the narrow streets.

We began walking up the step narrow streets admiring the different decorations of flowers on the houses.

Along the way we came to several flower crosses mounted on the wall.

Some of the crosses were very detailed and made of different types of flowers.

Each cross was unique and was detailed with many flowers. We took our time walking through the streets admiring the flowers and quaint streets of Santa Cruz.

We continued walking up the steep streets of Santa Cruz towards the top. We stopped along the way to take a break and enjoy the views.

The view of the city and of the Castle of Santa Barbara were beautiful.

We walked through the streets for several hours looking at all the flowers and decorations. We came to the display with the winning cross located on a corner.

It was an enjoyable way to spend a beautiful sunny day.

“Hasta luego y tengas un buen dia”
