Palm Sunday Procession

The throne with the statue of The Virgin Mary.
What a pity it had to be covered with a plastic sheet.
The penitents underneath have to work hard.

The church of Santa Maria Mayor.
The Virgin Mary throne was very important at this stage of the procession.
The church was originally a mosque but was consecrated after the Christian conquest of Ronda in 1485.
The same was the case with many churches in the town.

Not exactly the 'Brighouse and Rastrick' but they played a decent tune.
The crowd was much reduced by the rain and the many ladies in high heels on the wet cobbles had gone for cover.

The outside cabling strung outside this house and across the road is fairly typical on some of the streets.
