Señorita Huila, my personal favorite for Señorita Colombia 2010-2011. If she wins, she will be the first winner from her department, Huila.

Airy and ample street with beautiful buildings.
It was heavily raining this morning, and I was worried because there´s a flower parade today and it´s outdoor. But fortunately it calmed down when the parade was about to start. The cartageneros are fun loving open people, and they started the rumba by dancing, and the atmosphere was terrific! Again there are spraying of foams and water, and by now I´m kinda immuned to it, and actually it´s really fun be your mind open. I felt so relaxed and free and it´s the best party atmosphere I´ve ever been in!
This parade is about the reinas colombianas, the candidates of Miss Colombia. People in Colombia pay a lot of respect to these women, and as a traveler friend commented that they actually treat these women in a very "strangely respectful way." Indeed, Señorita Colombia is a tradition here in Colombia, and it´s a long tradition that it´s held here in Cartagena. Also, friends, family, companies and even mayors of each department are here in Cartagena raving for their own candidates hoping that they would bring the coveted crown back to their own department.
