The colours of Mahon (Mao)

A picture from our bus journey to Mahon one morning.

This is a a picturesque square in the centre of Mao, decorated by coloured bunting / streamers.

Decorated for the fiestas that seem to occur at regular intervals during the summer

I tried a google search to work out the significance of the decorations but didn't find much information

I think the colours look great against the blue sky :)

This will put you in the party mood & a blue sky too, you must have been in your element after all the rain. Love the shot from underneath here!
