Interesting cultural event


FLOWERS
Alex and I heard loud band music coming from outside and went to investigate. When we got there we saw a band playing music in the direction of an old cathedral that is next to our house. The music was awesome and I remembered that today was a special day in Granada in which they honor a specific saint. Different groups of people, bands, dancers, cowboys etc lineup and
drop flowers in front of a cathedral. Then people stuff the flowers into a beautiful net to make an amazing display of flowers. Here are some pictures/ videos:

Outside of the cathedral by our house:

Band Playing that we followed to the main cathedral:

After watching the show for a while we left the main cathedral and got gelato, then met up with some friends to play fútbol. Overall it was a good night :)
