According to Valencia Blog

Marking the end of Valencia’s Feria de Julio is the famous flower battle (la batalla de flores), established in 1892. Basically, falleras ride on parade floats, equip themselves with tennis rackets, and allow onlookers to pelt them with heavy little flowers.

You can see more pictures and read more about the event at the Valencia Blog.

Breathtaking. Soul-stirring. Amazing.

Thank God for “the black notes.”
