Editor's Notes
- Semana Santa -Thousands of visitors line the streets and cheer as the 'costaleros' (bearers) carry their floats through town. Each float is decked out with fantastic works of art work depicting the events that gave birth to Easter. It is a great honour to construct and carry these floats; people and their families are extremely proud to be part of the procession. The party goes on for a whole week too - the Spanish know how to throw a festival.
