We went to Málaga again this year for the Semana Santa processions.
Every day different groups of devotees carry heavy 'thrones' (tronos in Spanish) through the streets. It lasts until late at night.
The hoods are to hide the faces of penitents and have nothing to do with the klu klux clan
The thrones are so heavy that sometimes up to 150 men are needed to carry them through the streets. It is a great honor to do this but your back and shoulders are broken after this. They sometimes walk up to 8 hours.
The children are the cutest
