Just a quick midweek photo post to show that the Semana Santa processions are in full swing in El Puerto de Santa Maria. The different churches have different coloured costumes and different floats which they carry.
They carry the float into the Cathedral to be blessed and then out and return to their own church.
As you might imagine the floats are flipping heavy. Each weighs about 550 kilos and is carried by about 45 men all with weightlifter belts on. If you imagine in the gym carrying 100 kilos on your shoulders is hard enough; to then move it several hundred metres is another thing altogether.
Below is Christ's entry into Jerusalem.
Followed by the Ntra Sra. De la Entrega.
And a different church held the Cristo de la Flagelacion.
More at the weekend, adios amigos,
