Re: This is Semana Santa...
This is taken from our local newspaper, the one I can´t name... the article gives quite an insight in the traditions:
The most important week in the Catholic calendar
Semana Santa, Easter week, is the most important week in the Catholic calendar, even more so than Christmas.In Spain, which has a predominantly Catholic population, the religious celebration takes to the streets in the form of processions.
There are many famous processions throughout Spain but there are always four which almost any Spanish person will name when asked - Valladolid, Zamora, Málaga and Seville.
Each of these famous cities have their own particular way of celebrating Easter, but for simple climatic reasons the processions in Andalucía have a bigger following, in terms of both people within the procession and those watching.

Well you wouldn't think so if you lived in our village. We have had head banging 'music' played daily since Thursday until the early hours of the morning EVERY DAY coming from an apartment 2 doors away. There was almost a parade on Friday but it rained so heavily it was cancelled. It has been so noisy in our village with these youngsters playing their 'music' we have had to drive out of the village for peace and quiet

Re: This is Semana Santa...
For us in our small town Semana Santa has been two weeks of different solemn processions building up to the final large one when they transport four imagen through the streets.
We make sure that whatever is going on in our town that we are here to join in as we are very much part of the community.
