Do You Know The Way To San José?

Posted on 10:34 by Unknown
Fuengirola has a great brochure (online and in PDF format) detailing local events for Semana Santa (Holy Week). There are eight processions throughout the week. The itineraries are included.

LITERAL TRANSLATION:
"RESERVED MONDAY THRU SUNDAY ...
FOR RELIGIOUS ACTS."
(LIKE TURNING WATER INTO WINE PERHAPS?)

Unfortunately, although I could find all the streets, I couldn't initially find all the brotherhoods or churches that were listed. At least I couldn't find correct addresses for all the brotherhoods. I knew there was a procession today for Palm Sunday. I knew all the streets the procession would take during its 2-1/2-hour circuit. But I couldn't figure out where it began. So I headed in the direction of the cluster of streets figuring I would find it. I did, with no trouble really.

THIS MUST BE THE PLACE.

The procession began at a parish church. The name of the church wasn't listed identically in the brochure, so it didn't come up on Google searches. It turns out I could have just asked someone if they knew the way to San José: The Saint Joseph Catholic Parish Community Church (San José Communidad Catolica Parroquial).

LEADING THE PROCESSION.
SURELY TOO YOUNG TO BE PENITENT.
PENITENT.
MAKING HIS EXIT AGAIN... 
... WITH HIS USUAL FLAIR.
THERE WAS A MOMENTARY GASP FROM THE CROWD, BUT ALL WAS WELL.
FOLLOWED BY THE THE (EXCELLENT) MUNICIPAL BAND OF FUENGIROLA.
AS THEY TURN THE FIRST CORNER. PALACE OF JUSTICE IN THE BACKGROUND.
