The foundational festivities of Puerto de la Cruz are celebrated every year on May 3. It was on this date but the year 1651 when he the first village headman took its office.<\/p>\n
However, it was not until the early nineteenth century when it was founded as a municipality and July 26, 1956 when it was founded as a city.<\/p>\n
Both on May 3 as the days before are usually are held various festivities in commemoration of the founding of Puerto de la Cruz, but the most important events every year are usually the solemn Mass, which is continued with a procession with the Cross of Silver and at the end you can attend a pyrotechnical show.<\/p>\n
It is also tradition on this dates to observe the beautiful floral decorations that adorn some chapels of Puerto de la Cruz throughout the city. The portuenses put all their efforts on getting the most beautiful creation, as if it was a competition to win the admiration of people who often remain observing amazed with the works of art.<\/p>\n
It is said that the term of Port of the “Cross” came from the cross on the side of the facade of the Casa de la Aduana. Although this was the first, there were many more crosses scattered throughout the town, in hermitages and in private homes, which are sometimes placed due to unfortunate events as accidents or violent deaths, other symbolizing the junction of several roads and sometimes symbolizing the population limit.<\/p>\n
