"Día de la Cruz"

"Día de la Cruz" (The Day of the Cross) is celebrated on May 3rd in all of Spain with tons of drinking and fiestas in the streets. All the young girls dress up in flamenco outfits and perform flamenco shows all over the city. Woman of all ages like to dress up in flamenco attire also while others just wear big flowers in their hair for the day. I am not positive exactly what "Día de la Cruz" celebrates but there are beautiful flowers and crosses set up all around the city. I do know however that "Día de la Cruz" is an important national holiday because class was cancelled for the celebrations!
