SacabCoin




How time flies... went to see the horseshow again last night at the annual SACABCOIN in our town where the PRE (Pura Raza Española) horses have a sort of pageant and get to win prizes for most beautiful tails and manes etc... Seriously: it is a huge and well respected event and about 800 horses show up during 5 days. The show is impressive and a combination of horse and flamenco with live music.

Semana Santa



Semana Santa (Holy Week) is something special in a still very Catholic Spain. Every town has processions during the whole week, which usually last all night, starting on Palm Sunday untill Easter Sunday. We went to Málaga on Good Friday. An impression...













And not only the processions were a spectacle...
