Alcalá Week I am no longer keeping track

Tree that took me 10 minutes to climb, and yes it was only about 5 feet off the ground

I apologize that my extreme laziness has prevented me from updating this in a while. Here are some picture's from Spring Break, when I went to Málaga in the south of Spain to relax on the beach!


Helloooo! Sadly, not any tanner despite all my time spent in this local

We climbed up a steep hill for a nice view of the city from an old palace

Processions are a big part of Semana Santa, people in hoods hold candles and walk REALLY slowly in front of a float depicting a weeping Mary or Jesus. Also Mary is way decked out.

About 50 men carry each float and they stop to rest every 100 feet or so. Hence, the parade is very very long!
