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.
