Aljucen semana Santa Via de la Plata I need your help

Last april we were walking the Via de la Plata camino. Arriving in the village of Aljucen we were at the albergue when à representative of the church ask us to help in the celebration of the semana santa. Many pilgrims participate in the procession while carrying the religious statues.

I did a video of the procession and i would like to circulate this video because i do not have the email adress of most of the pilgrims participating.

If you recognise someone participating and that you have their email adresse could you send them this link.

Hi @Jean Ti Welcome to the forum!
So exciting being taken back to Semana Santa in Aljucen .
I was there several days before you I think, and had similar experience. All the places during Semana Santa did their thing. Mérida was spectacular..Cáceres was huge.
As I take my time walking, further up the track, I met Ilse from Belgium (the lady carrying in your video)..and possibly others in your clip (but later in April). They are stronger & faster walkers than me so I was lucky to join several groups along my walk. I spent a few evenings with Ilse and the (at that time ) group from Carcaboso. They went ahead after Baños de Montemayor.
I am in contact with Ilse on whatsapp .
Send me a pm if you like.
Sigh! Sigh! How I loved the Vdlp. I have to return and finish from Tábara when it’s possible for me.
Thanks for posting
Buen camino

Be careful when you organise a transfer from the Arca de Caparra (Via’s emblem) to one of the three hotels in Jarilla. The guide books we are using state that you will be picked up at ARCA DE...
