Something that I found different and intriguing are the processions. During Semana Santa churches have processions that go through the town. What are processions? They are somewhat like a religious parade with people dressed up, yes believe it or not, in costumes that look like those worn by the KKK. The people that wear these outfits belong to religious fraternities and other organizations. They are NOT members of the Ku Klux Klan. In the processions there are also many floats carrying statues of Jesus and Mary. These processions are also very serious. They aren't like the "Cabalgata de Reyes" (parade of the Three Kings who arrived to bring gifts to Baby Jesus) where they throw lots of candy. It was a totally unique experience for me.
