This post is the first from a series about Semana Santa (Holy Week) and how people celebrate it in Spain. As you may know I like travelling, getting to know the customs and traditions that sometimes are very different from the ones I know. But the most I like is participating in everyday's life, because thanks to this I can feel a bit...
