The Day of the Cross, on May 3rd, is undoubtedly the city's most popular, colorful and good humored festival. Every neighborhood decks out its streets and squares with crosses made out of fresh flowers, fans, shells and farm tools. All of the crosses contain a symbolic pair of open scissors ready to cut out any possible aesthetic defect. The locals put on their gypsy dresses and everyone goes out for a few drinks and some dancing in the streets. The party lasts for three days and the atmosphere is joyous and hedonistic. It has its roots in a pagan ritual to celebrate the end of winter and it coincides with the summer solstice.
