Granada: Day 3

Yesterday night I experienced Holy Week. I saw one of the processions and witnessed the ceremony. There are many that go on throughout the day but we watched the last one which is one of the most famous. It was 1am when it passed us. For this one, “ La procesión del silencio” all of the city lights turned off and people remained silent. In this one there was no music but a drum, which only happens in this specific procession, and once the statue, called paso, passed us there where people with chains doing their penitence. 

Today we visited Sacromonte, a village where people live in caves on the side of the mountains. There are different houses for different uses like a blacksmith, sowing, farm animals, and normal housing. Their community also was the main promoter of flamingo.
