The celebration, taking place between April 29 and May 3, invites residents and visitors to immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere at a leisurely pace. The suggested starting point is the San Basilio neighborhood, known for its authenticity and for hosting traditional and serene crosses amidst patios and narrow streets.
From San Basilio, the route heads towards the surroundings of the Mezquita-Catedral. Directly opposite the capital's main monument, the Triunfo de San Rafael cross is installed annually, standing out not only for its careful setup but also for the incomparable setting it offers, with views of the Ribera, the Puerta del Puente, and the Mezquita-Catedral itself.
The itinerary continues to Jerónimo Páez Square, next to the Archaeological Museum, where one of the competition's most recognized crosses is traditionally located. A few minutes' walk away is the Compás de San Francisco cross, one of the most popular and representative of the neighborhood's coexistence.
Subsequently, the walk changes pace and enters areas popular with young people during the festival, such as the vicinity of the crosses in Capuchinos Square and Cardenal Toledo Square. The route culminates in San Andrés Square, a space with great tradition in this festivity, which preserves the essence of the brotherhoods' crosses, with classic compositions highly valued by the jury in recent editions.
The key to fully enjoying these routes lies in the order and timing: starting in the morning light in San Basilio, reaching the Mezquita-Catedral in the mid-afternoon, and then ascending towards the crosses of Compás de San Francisco, Capuchinos, and San Andrés.
