A Lovely Sunday Morning: Batalla de las Flores

The morning after my Sevilla excursion was Cordoba's Batalla de las Flores. One of the many events that happen at the end of April and into May, Batalla de las Flores involved floats full of people riding down the main avenue and throwing carnations into the crowds that the crowds then throw back at the floats. A rather odd tradition with a significance that I have yet to discover, but it was great fun and pretty hilarious. Take a peek:

I decided if I was a child I would want to be one of the girls who got to be on the floats in these awesome outfits:
So many flowers
This was my favorite float. These women were having so much fun!
Fun for all ages...
...and beauty queens
And a little video footage:
