Description
Probably the last one I'm submitting. Before easter I thought I would go to some more processions, but between laziness, the weather and my flash not having arrived yet I only went to one.
I had to burn a bit on the top to recover some detail.

Some info from the Semana Santa in Málaga :
Holy Week processions mark the main religious celebrations in Spain but none as the processions of Málaga. Holy Week in Malaga are famous countrywide. Processions start on Palm Sunday and continue until Easter Sunday with the most dramatic and solemn on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. Images from the Passion on huge ornate "tronos" (floats or thrones) some with more than 5.000 kilos carried by more than 250 members shape the processions that go for the streets with penitents dressed in long purple robes, often with pointed hats, followed by women in black carrying candles. Drums and trumpets play solemn music and occasionally someone spontaneously sings a mournful saeta dedicated to the floats as it makes its way slowly round the streets.source: wikipedia [link]
