Out on a tour my clients were intrigued by the women in their beautiful black lace mantillas, which are worn on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. They were also surprised that the women love posing for pics so Rick stopped the group below to ask for a photo while I snapped the ladies lunching.🖤

Ran into this procession on my way home from a tapas tour. With record numbers of mostly maskless people crowded together in the streets I won’t be going out to see any processions on purpose this year. Dreading the indoor mask mandate being lifted next week…

It looks beautiful but it was also heartbreaking for all those who have been waiting two years to participate in their beloved Semana Santa processions. Because many of the statues taken around are priceless works of art there is no question of them being exposed to water damage. As a result it was a solemn and rather sad martes santo… weather is looking good for the rest of the week though.

For the first time since 2019 they’re putting up the bleachers for Semana Santa in Plaza San Francisco. I actually have a couple of lunchtime tapas tours booked that week and will take a cautious look around a few of the processions (I know the routes and how to avoid the crowds). It’s concerning that governments are cutting back on testing, artificially forcing Covid “numbers” down simply by ignoring them. And you hear very little any more about Covid in the media. I keep doing rapid tests once a week and also keep hoping Spain won’t revoke the mask mandate for indoor public places. Lots of mixed feelings about things returning to “normal”.
