What happens at the Fiesta de la Almudena in Madrid on November 9?
I know November 9 is a holiday in Madrid for Fiesta de la Almudena. Does anyone know what happens on this day? This is what I found on a site: "The festival begins at 11 o clock in morning with a Mass that is held at the Plaza Mayor. A street procession follows thereafter at the Puerta de Sol, the Plaza Oriente and the Plaza Isabel II. Throughout the day at the Plaza de la Almudena flowers are proffered. The flowers bring hue and aroma to the streets. The festival gets over almost around 9 in the evening." Is it accurate? Do a lot of people participate?
The information you've got is right and yes it does draw quite a
crowd, mostly Madrilenos with the whole family in tow, including
buggies, so if you get in the middle it can become quite a
squash. The 'happening' bit is being there and participating!
The point of it is to honour La Virgin de la Almudena.
