We decided to visit Jerez during the Santa Semana week, to witness the same procession but on a bigger scale. The only bigger scale was the amount of people watching the procession, and the amount of people in each procession from the brotherhood, the Pasos were almost the same as was the order of the procession, the bands and the outfits.

The noise was much louder, children with drums, trumpets and whistles, adults shouting to attendees in the procession but also regular traffic in the town – the route was not marked or secured off as it would be in the UK, scooters were allowed down the same roads as the procession; businesses were open as usual and people shopped, drunk coffee and went about as normal, very strange! Health and safety in the UK would have had a field day!!

So a small selection of photos follow of our day in Jerez.
