The laying of flowers for the Lady of the Forsaken
Fiestas and traditions for the Alicante Province by date here
In March 2011, Idealspain went to see this fiesta in Denia (Alicante), within the Valencia region. This is a wonderful fiesta, filled with music and colour.
The costumes are absolutely stunning.
Flowers are carried through the streets towards the church where they are pinned onto a large wooden image of the Lady of the Forsaken. Every agegroup takes part and it lasts most of the day.
There's a service at the church beforehand.
