Take 2: Parramos
The Semana Santa processions continued this week in Parramos. We took all the kids down from the house into town to walk through the stations of the cross. We walked for four hours throughout Parramos and stopped at various alters/crosses made of fruits, vegetables, flowers, grass and hay. Here are some pictures of the day!
