Laredo

Laredo is a town in the Northern Spanish province and autonomous community of Cantabria. Located between the cities of Santander and Bilbao, Laredo is well known in the region and nationally for "La Salvé" (its 5 km long beach - 7km at high tide) and for the historic part of town dating back to Roman times. Its festivities in August are also well known due to the main event that occurs every year on the last Friday of August, known as la batalla de flores (the battle of the flowers), during which large floats entirely covered with flowers and petals are paraded along the central streets. During Carnival it is tradition for a group of men to parade a giant sardine through town. At the end of this ritual, called "Entierro de la Sardina" (Burial of the sardine), the sardine is burned on the beach after a fireworks display. The sister city of Laredo, Cantabria is Laredo, Texas.
