May/June. Corpus Christi
by Labrix
The streets of Sitges have a competition about wich one has the most beauful carpet made with flowers. The neighbours spend all the night working on them and the result it's spectacular.
The dates changes every year, but the celebration of the Corpus it's about May/June. In fact, the Corpus day it always a Thursday and, in a beginning, the flowers carpets were made this day. But since some years ago, they do it the Sunday after the Corpus day, then everybody can enjoy with this tradition.
