Today, a festival is being celebrated throughout Andalusia: Día de la Cruz.

The Day of the Cross. In every small town, there's a party with lots of food and music. The cross is decorated, as in our town, and there's drinking and dancing. From little girls to older women, everyone is dressed in pretty flamenco dresses.

Have you ever heard of it or participated in it yourself?

Mistigram: somehow, today managed to be Friday and #Sun Day simultaneously. I don’t know how this is possible, only the #ANSIart illustrator AdeptApril knows for sure. Just don’t look too closely at the evidence!
