"La Batalla de las Flores" or the Battle of the Flowers, is a flower-throwing "fight" that can be a lot of fun in Laredo, near Santander in northern Spain. The Battle of Flowers is a tradition dating back 100 years and is celebrated on the final Friday of August. Participants build floats and parade through town and are finally judged on aesthetic merit.
