Festival of Flowers

In the small town of Campo Maior Portugal, 14 kilometers from the border with Badajoz, every four years is held a colorful traditional party in honor of San Juan Bautista: The flower festival. Campo Maior is a small village and old building in which its neighbors, in late August and early September every four years, begin to decorate the streets with paper flowers that they have been preparing for all year. Every street is different, with a theme, decorations and different colors! Not only flowers are used, but anything imaginable - a whole house, animals or Adam and Eve! But everything is built with the typical "crepe paper".

This festival is held in Campo Mayor, a Portuguese town near the Spanish border. This year it has come back to be celebrated after 7 years without doing it. The truth is worth seeing as it is fun. The village is completely decorated with paper flowers of all colors made by all the villagers.
