Cruces de Mayo Almería 2026

Almería welcomes spring with the traditional Cruces de Mayo, a vibrant celebration where the city's squares and courtyards are adorned with spectacular floral crosses. The festivities centre around the Mirador de la Rambla, featuring 'ambigús' (open-air bars) serving local tapas and drinks amidst live music and traditional dance. Organised by local brotherhoods and associations, the event includes a competition for the most beautifully decorated cross. Visitors can enjoy the festive atmosphere, sample authentic Almerian gastronomy, and witness the 'Mayas'—floral displays featuring young girls dressed in traditional white lace. It is a quintessential Andalusian experience combining religious devotion with community joy.
