Corpus Christi is an equalitarian symbiosis of creativity, participation and friendship. The flower carpets are the result of a careful work, which required previous dedication and hands willing to draw spring inspired images, capable of drawing glances of complicity among people living in Sitges and visitors. The groups of neighbors, friends or members of organizations that come together to make flower carpets, is one of the signs that show us that Sitges still is and must remain being a village, with all the positive components that identify the word.
This year, Corpus Christi has shown that the capacity of the festival is quite solid. The financial constraints curtailed the budget, but the result, in the eyes of visitors and people from Sitges, was relative. As was the case with the Three Kings Parade and Carnival, the efforts of organizations and the dedication of the people who worked on the festivity, contributed to minimize budget cuts and, at the same time, demonstrated their ability to charm us entirely.
And we must not forget that for Sitges, Corpus Christi is a big attraction that will help our economic recovery. Sunday, several buses and a long line of vehicles came to Sitges to watch our flower carpets and spend the day in the town, good news that should be welcomed.
Once Corpus Christi is over, there are new activities coming up such as the Festival of Poetry and Sitges Fashion Weekend. Such events will highlight the name of Sitges again in the cultural, socioeconomic and entertainment media, stressing that the dynamism that sets Sitges apart from competitors remains firm and intact.
