Semana Santa - Holy Week - what is it like in Spain?

Many thanks for sharing your handsome, personal and emotional Holy Week story! To each his own...mspath
 
John,
Your pictures brought back many memories for me of our trip to Andalucia in 1997 during Holy Week. It was a phenomenal experience for us and especially for our children (13, 11 & 9 at the time). One vivid memory for me was watching a neighbourhood band (in their typical mediaeval costume) pause outside a bar for refreshment - glasses of vino tinto all round, and smokes for those in need of nicotine, while instruments rested propped against the wall. Easter celebrations are such hard work :!: , but it was a convivial and joyous atmosphere.

Another memory was of nearly being pick-pocketed amidst the crowds in a Sevilla plaza, but that's another story... :evil:

Muchas gracias,
Dick
