Lovely señorita - Our Lady del Pilar - Zaragoza
‘Fiestas del Pilar’ is an extravagant carnival attended by thousands on holiday and culminates with an evening of fireworks reflected in the broad Ebro River that runs through town.
It is such a happy occasion. Hundreds of delegations of villagers from all over Spain dance in the streets in their festive traditional clothing. Many are processing under the banner of a local parish, brotherhood or civic organization. As the groups pass by they are often dancing folk dances.
As countless delegations and pilgrims bring their beautiful floral offerings, a towering pyramid of flowers mounts crowned by the comparatively diminutive image of the Virgin at the top.
