A celebration of death and rebirth of Christ, Andalusia is famous for holding the largest celebrations in the country, but celebrates every city and province in Spain in its own special way.
You've never seen a festival like him. From the ornate costumes and sometimes frightening future, the smell of traditional Spanish dishes and thick smoke of incense clouds the streets, is a feast for the senses.
Teams of men, sometimes numbering in the hundreds, carrying vast fleet of the churches of the city, the streets of the city and then back to the church at the end of each day. The floats are spectacular, intricately decorated with fresh flowers, wax figures and swinging the bells that sound with the rocking motion of the procession.
Many tourists are surprised by the traditional dress worn by the participants. Children use large layered hoods hiding their faces with the exception of two small eye holes cut from the cloth. Children are large candles, incense is burned, and bands keep playing back music conveniently sad.
The religious connotations can not be ignored, but most participants are not regular churchgoers. Seen more as a fun evening of entertainment for most families is a great place to go to sample some of the best Spanish cuisine and wine, see a show, and then continue the party after processions are over.
All restaurants and bars are stacked to the ceiling every night during Holy Week, the feast and eat normally heard from the street. You will find traditional Spanish special rate on sale everywhere, from savory to sweet, as people gather at their windows to see the parades below.
