Semana Santa

by Shaun on April 8, 2009

Well here in Granada it is Semana Santa, Holy Week. Granada is famous for its processions and the whole city comes to a stop for the entire week, well, not surprising really considering that there are at least 5 processions each day for a week and there are some 250,000 people swarming all over the city seeking out the best places to see the processions. The processions are very long too with some of the longest lasting almost 12 hours. The pasos are also very elaborate and luckily this year the weather has held out so there has been no rain which would mean that the paso could not leave the church. If you’re intrigued and want to see some photos, here’s a link to the local newspaper - http://cofrades.degranada.net/photo
