Corpus Christi

Each June, the streets of Arrecife are transformed into a colorful canvas during the Corpus Christi celebration. During this festival, residents create stunning salt carpets that stretch along the streets to commemorate the Eucharist. These carpets, made with salt and dyes, are meticulously designed by religious, social, cultural groups, and various local institutions. Each carpet is a work of art in itself, featuring intricate patterns and colors that adorn the city's main thoroughfares. The festival provides an ideal opportunity to stroll through the streets, admire the artistic work, and capture photographs that immortalize the beauty and community effort.
