Onfriday night we went to La Cala to watch the Easter Parade. I had watched quite a few from Sevilla and Madrid and big places like that on the tv already, but we thought we should do something spanishy and have a look.
It was the most bizarre thing i have ever seen. It was getting dark when they started and we were all crowding around when we hear a bell ring. Then this really morbid trumpet music starts. The first man in the procession was carrying some flag thing and a few men (everyone in purple robes) wearing those Ku Klux Klan hats. They are enough to scare anyone, until the old crying distraught women all in black lace with a black vail follow. Next is the huge float carried but the men, displaying Jesus on the cross, and lots of candles, followed by the ladies and their masive model of The Virgin Mary surrounded by even more of candle.
Its so odd to see people crying and displaying their faith in such way. The wierd music and the ku klux klan hats made it even weirder.
If you get a chance to check some out on the net take a look.

Oh, and guess which idiot forgot to take her camera
