Sunday, 5 April, 2015:
I hope that everyone had a Happy Easter. We started the day with a leisurely stroll from our Hotel to Lorca's train station.
The Río Guadalentín closely
resembles the Los Angeles River
A stylish bridge
Jason Johnson is still BIG in Lorca
Indeed
I did not touch
Laurie spotted this reflection
Classic Church Door
complete with Nazarenes
Lots of colors
Newly painted fountain
After a solid breakfast near the Plaza de España, we were headed back to Murcia via . . .
. . . a Cercania train
El Puente de Peligros in Murcia
with the Sardine just past the archway
Suddenly, we heard drums beating about a block away . . .
Well it IS Easter Sunday after all
Shepherds had replaced Nazarenes
Shepherds of all sexes and ages
But caramelos were still to be had
St. Michael the Archangel
spells doom for Satan
Back to work
Tote that Archangel
It's all about the outfits
Where is your helmet?
Plumes are good
Never too early to start your
music education
Another group of Shepherds approached
A big group at that
Again with the kid shepherds
Tending the flock
Laurie about to lead us to La Hacienda
Peñas are popping up all over Murcia
They are selling food and beverages throughout this week's Fiestas de Primavera. I'm pretty sure that we will eat at one in the coming few days.
Once back at La Hacienda, it was time to start watching video tapes of the 6-0 Reus Imperials, our opponents next Sunday.
It turns out that their record is no accident, they are good indeed. We will have our hands full trying to keep up with them.
To sum up our first Semana Santa in España that included stops in Murcia, Alicante and Lorca, IT WAS GREAT!!!
