On the 3rd May, Villa de Teguise celebrates the Día de la Cruz, the Day of the Cross. During this fiesta, the numerous crosses of the town’s old quarter are decorated with beautiful flowers in what is one of the Canary Islands’ most deep-rooted traditions. The reasons why the people of Teguise are motivated to raise these crosses are very diverse, but all of them are tied to faith and a strong devotion to this Christian symbol.
