This week was my spring break so my mom came to visit for a week. I took her around Granada, showed her the Alhambra, we did Arabic baths, ate Arabic food, and went to Madrid. She had a blast, and I'm sure she was like a zombie when she returned home.
Procession
Last week was Semana Santa which is a huge holiday in Spain where everyone is off from work and out of school. During each day of the week leading up to easter Sunday, the Catholic churches in the area process down the street with religious floats that have sculptures of Mary and Jesus. The streets are blocked off with hundreds of people standing around watching and taking pictures. For many people it was very emotional. This is a huge tradition in Spanish culture, and it was amazing to experience.
