The Corpus Cristi Flower Festival
|
Meanwhile, it's seven o'clock and the Giants are gathering in front of the town hall. Finally the sun comes out.
|
|
|
They start their procession through the town.
First they stroll along the beach front.

|
This is the Moorish King, and the men in blue shirts are the colla. There's about a dozen of them and they take it in turns to carry the Giant. No mean task, as they don't just carry the Giant, they have to make him dance too.

|
Finally they reach the narrow streets in the centre, to the thrill of the onlooking crowd.
(At this point, unfortunately, I was accosted by Nuria Pujol. Asked me if I wanted to take some sexy pictures of her. I got very angry, especially as Debbie wasn't with her. I told her she was fat, ugly and balding! She was an ugly dwarf! In fact, and I was very cruel here, she didn't even look like a woman and was probably a man!)
