Overview

• The Día de la Cruz festivities officially began on May 2 with a flamenco-infused pregón by Agustín Barajas in the Patio del Ayuntamiento.
• This year, 64 crosses adorned with flowers, mantones, and local crafts are displayed across Granada’s neighborhoods, plazas, and patios.
• The Ayuntamiento de Granada awarded prizes in four categories—patios, streets and plazas, shop windows, and schools—for the most beautifully decorated crosses.
• Since 2007, street bars have been relocated to 34 enclosed spaces, which will operate until 1 AM to ensure public order and safety.
• The festival blends cultural heritage and community spirit, with locals and tourists enjoying music, dance, and traditional customs like collecting chavicos and displaying clawed apples.
