Besides the wind, the day was perfect. Which explains why over 300,000 people dressed in traditional Aragonés clothing and brought flowers to offer to the Virgen. The poster behind me is the logo from the advertisements for the Festival.
This is the giant wire structure where all the flowers go, with the Virgen del Pilar on top.
On Monday, the next day, there was more regional dress in the Ofrenda de Frutos - the offering of food. There were groups from every autonomous community in Spain. Above, the group from Castilla la Mancha.
The Andaluces - that's the region of flamenco and bright colors, and these typical dresses.
Children dressed in the Aragonés style.The parade of frutos lasted 2 hours, and the Ofrenda de Flores began at 7:30 and didn't end until 4 or 5 in the afternoon!!

Hi Amanda, enjoyed looking at the pictures. Thanks for taking the time to post them. Looks like a crowd watching the parade. And you look so happy! Glad you got to "talk" with your mom today.
Have a good weekend, love, Aunt Judy
This just looks like a loser version of Carnaval :P
