La granadina It's the spring semester of my junior year, so I am celebrating with un gran viaje filled with classes (unfortunately) and crazy foreign fun.

Semana Santa

Mary’s floats are always much finer, made of gold- and silver-painted metals (remember how poor Baroque Spain was). This Mary is made entirely of wood, but usually her dress is real fabric, meaning her body is a wire frame. This makes her hips sway back and forth as the processions proceed and basically just serves to egg the Spanish men on.
