I have gotten to see a few "processions", i.e. parades re the Holy Week. Last nights had several floats (think scenes on wheels, some solemn, some joyous). Last night got to me more than in Madrid, there was a scene of Christ and someone else carrying the cross, Christ on the cross, Mary crying, Christ risen, etc. All during the procession, drums were beating something that reminded me of a death dirge. It was very moving.
We are planning our week now (not much is open until after the holiday; Easter holiday starts on Thursday and lasts to Sunday). We hope to go to another island that has fissures in the land so you see fires, etc. We also hope to go for a camel ride. The rest is up in the air. We only have 4 days after the weekend, I NEED MORE TIME!!!!
