Every day there is at least one procession which includes a giant statue of Jesus and a statue of Mary. Everyone is dressed very culturally to celebrate the holy week for Catholicism.
Different fraternities have their processions at different times. Some are completely silent, some go through caves, but all of them last for over five hours. Some start at 10 at night and go until sunrise. Spanish people truly love their Semana Santa.
This was a very different spring break than what I have been used to but I loved see a different way that people celebrated it.
