The Romerías de Mayo renew a rite born on May 3, 1790, when Father Antonio Alegría placed a wooden cross on top of Cerro Bayado, today Loma de la Cruz, in order to celebrate a Hispanic religious tradition. From the 2nd to the 8th of the fifth month of the year, musicians, theatrical performers, researchers, dancers, writers, painters and cultural promoters from all over the world come together to celebrate a Festival of Tradition and Modernity, "because there is no today without yesterday".
