Málaga: Procession


A big part of Semana Santa anywhere in Spain is the Procession, when the town's Virgin statue is taken from the church and paraded around the town.  From what we discussed in class it's usually a solemn event in the north; in the south, it's a festival.  There were marching bands closing every procession, and street vendors selling roasted almonds and ice cream.
