EmailGranada's official festival lasts for eight days in June. It starts with the Eucharist Procession when a beautiful plateresque monstrance is carried from the cathedral through the city streets on the back of a carriage filled with flowers. The crowds throw herbs and flowers onto the ground as the procession arrives and then follows the funfair in Almanjar on the outskirts of town. Locals put on their traditional Andalusian suits and dresses, take their carefully groomed horses and carriages and set out to enjoy the stalls, rides, games and competitions. The wine flows freely and there's singing and dancing from late afternoon to early morning. The year's best series of bullfights are scheduled for these eight days. A special bus service is laid on to take the public to the fair.
