Semana Santa (Holy Week)
























It's Holy Week craziness right now in Seville! People have flocked in from all over to crowd the streets and watch the brotherhoods's processions. They wear the robes with the hoods (sometimes a bit creepy for me!) and walk through the streets with bands, candles, crosses and big pasos that have Jesus and sometimes Mary on them, which are shouldered by lots of big strong men! The processions take anywhere from 5-14 hours and most are during the day except for Thursday when they go all night.
Dad is here and it's great! We are off to the Costa del Sol (Rincon de la Victoria) on Wednesday to find a beach and hopefully start work on that tan! It's fun times in Seville! :)
