It was quite an experience to watch procession in Nerja. I did not realize that children would be attending it carrying their own load. I happened to be near a young girl of about 10 yrs old to ask her if the pole that she was carrying did not bother her. And she told me it did but she had to carry it. I was also amazed at the women portraying the bereaved widows dressed up elegantly in black with their high heel shoes and carrying their poles. Likewise amazing is the fact that not only men but also women carry the images on their shoulders and how they swayed as they carried the images.
