Friday night during semana santa at 21.00 my wife and I watched the procession leaving the cathedral of Santiago. I had my mobile with me and grabbed this video (quality is not too good, but I think you can get the idea).

Hi there,

Have a look at these links, they explain it much better than I could

Semana Santa = Holy week

... it is actually quite emotional as they walk by your, many bear foot carrying these "floats".
