At the Corpus Christi festival in Mazo, there are no machines. Everything is done by hand. What’s more, the whole village gets involved; it’s a team effort involving all the neighbourhoods in the municipality, who spend months collecting flowers, herbs, leaves, heather and seeds that will later form part of their creations, meeting daily to work on designing or decorating the structures of their works. 

The pathways are created directly on the ground, laying out petals, leaves, seeds… as if it were a giant jigsaw puzzle along the town’s main streets. 

Tapestries, true traditional works of art made from natural materials. 

And the arches, which could be described as the traditional carpets made in every region of the country for the procession of the Blessed Sacrament, but which in Mazo have the distinctive feature that these carpets are made vertically, the so-called arches; each neighbourhood of Villa de Mazo creates an arch as an offering to the Blessed Sacrament… these are structures that can reach 20 metres in height, decorated flower by flower and featuring extraordinary designs that highlight Christian doctrine, as well as the traditions and unique characteristics of the island of La Palma.
