PHOTO GALLERY: The Flower Crosses of Xàbia
Each May, flower crosses bloom briefly across the historic centre and port—lavish, petal-covered tributes crafted by mayorales and local devotees, Part of the final celebrations for Jesús Nazareno.
At the beginning of each May, for just a few days, the historic centre and port zone of Xàbia come alive with flower crosses, vivid bursts of devotion crafted in petals and care. Created by the year’s mayorales and devoted locals, these ephemeral masterpieces, often costing many hundreds if not thousands of euros, mark the final days of the festivities honouring the town’s treasured image of Jesús Nazareno. Though their beauty fades quickly, their spirit endures, a tribute to faith, tradition, and the art of the moment.
