I meant to post this on Easter, but I forgot to. Throughout Holy Week various groups arrange processions which commemorate different aspects of Holy Week (e.g. Christ's death, the resurrection, etc.). On the Saturday before Easter I went to the procesión de la soledad and it was unlike anything I've ever seen. Everyone was pushing and shoving to get a good view of the figure of "Nuestra Señora de la Soledad" (my picture of her is at the top of the post). I got elbowed by so many little old ladies, and some of them even took to climbing up lampposts just to see what was going on!
Anyway, I put two little video clips together so you can see what happens as the procession begins:
