falleras

If I cant be a Nasrid princess when I grow up, I want to be a fallera. These traditional, gorgeous girls are a key element of Fallas. Not only are they beautiful, the falleras offer "la ofrenda" - flowers which grow to cover a huge statue of the Virgin Mary- in a parade so regal and pretty it takes two days to complete. The Fallera Mayor also leads many important ceremonies. Falleras range from babies not yet out of the stroller to their mothers, but the standard age is teenagers.
(P.s. there are some fallerOs too - but the boys are just not as impressive!)
