The first Summer festivity in Madrid is San Cayetano, a three day fiesta where the streets and squares of Lavapiés, Rastro and La Latina neighbourhoods are dolled up with flowers and locals don their castizo gear for some serious street partying.  It is customary at this event that at the end of the procession (on the 7th @ 8pm), the faithful take a float flower as there is the belief that those who pray to the saint and grab a flower, have bread and work all year. This belief is so widespread that many people, fear of not arriving on time, throw themselves on the passing float, resulting in a human avalanche almost impossible to contain. Check out the program and join in on the festivities!
