Corpus Christi Sitges 2009
When: TBA
Where: All over Sitges. Specific Streets are closed off for 24 hours.
The
town of Sitges celebrates Corpus Chisti every year with style! Sections of the major streets are closed to traffic for at least 24 hours.
Then intricate templates are drawn on the road. Neighbors from each street gather into the small hours of morning, plucking the petals off Carnation flowers. These petals are then placed on the patterns on the road.
The transformation is amazing. It has to be seen to be believed .
The kids get a great kick out of following the giants up the street. The usual mayhem ensues as there is a fight to grab that one last flower petal!
Note, finding parking is almost impossible on this weekend. Also, you should book your accommodation well in advance as it is a favourite weekend for the Barcelona boys and girls to come out for the weekend!
