Batalla de las Flores (Battle of the Flowers).
There are several things Valencia is passionate about so much that they become an art form here. Spanish music, fireworks, ceramics, rice dishes… Flowers are definitely one of those. Locals sometimes call Valencia the city of music, light and flowers. Valencians decorate their city with flowers on every possible occasion, and they do amazing things with them. Flowers are offered to every patron saint on his day. But the Battle of the Flowers (Batalla de Las Flores) is the ultimate display of what the Valencians can do.

Preselection of the Court of Honour
Preselection of the Court of Honour
This is a preliminary stage for the selection of Fallera Mayor (the Queen of the Fallas). The election itself will take place in Valencia in September. This is the most prestigious title for any Valencian woman (those who still live in tradition, that is). Those who did not make it to Fallera Mayor become her Court of Honour.
It is realized in the month of Julio, in zones and park enabled for the event.
Those will be pompous, ritualised events with traditional Valencian costumes and music.
