These crosses are installed in squares, neighborhood associations and private patios. <strong>Many town halls hold contests to assess which setting is the most beautiful.<\/strong><\/p><p>On many occasions there are bars installed to be able to eat and drink something, you can even find children&#8217;s performances, music groups or dancers.
