The procession with the statues of Christ and weeping Mary: (carried by a bunch of poor guys who had to rest every 20 meters for a break!)
Me with my traditional Semana Santa desert called a
torrija. It is prepared by soaking two-day-old bread in sugary milk and then frying in egg with cinnamon. It can then be drenched in honey, like mine, or left un-drenched, which my host mom says is better.
Personally, I prefer other Spanish desserts, such as
toblerone
, which is a sort of candy bar made with whipped eggs and almonds. Yes, the Spanish quizine definitely has an egg trend!

The history behind these pointy hats is very complex, so go look it up on the internet if you wish, but know that it has nothing to do with the KKK.
