Semana Santa

In our local small town this evening the start of Semana Santa (Easter). It begins with a re-enactment of the swearing allegiance to the flag of Rome and finishes with the procession of mantillas, the Madonna is brought out of the church and carried around the town. It really is very nice, here are just a few photos.
