Córdoba Crosses of May In Cordoba beautifulintricate crosses made of flowers decorate the city streets1st to 3rd May A rather lovely traditional fiesta is the "Cruces de Mayo" (Crosses of May) in Cordoba, when crosses made of flowers are decorate the city's streets and squares. These beautiful floral decorations are judged in a competition organised by the town council. In this old religious tradition the crosses are also sometimes decorated with typical silk "mantones" or shawls, multicoloured throws and other popular items. As is usual in Spanish fiestas the whole neighbourhood gets involved to try and outdo the rest of the city.The neighbourhood associations and social clubs are in charge of making sure that Cordoba is a riot of colour and fiesta. The usual time to walk around and see the different crosses is by night.
