Check out ANDALUCIA during SEMANA SANTA.
Hooded PENITENTES (looking eerily much like KKK marchers) in their SILK robes and conical HOODS marching for hours, carrying their floats or "pasos" from their church to the Cathedral and back... the VIRGEN atop surrounded by CANDLES, shouldered by members of the Cofradías (Brotherhoods or Fraternities) through the (many narrow) streets of the city, many of them BAREFOOT, and followed by horns, trumpets, oboes, flutes humming, and drums beating the marchers' slow steady gait... very intense and impressive tradition seen in all its glory in the big cities of Andalucia, especially Sevilla. The march and the pasos represent stages of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. It's pretty intense.
Starting on Domingo de Ramos (Palm Sunday), and ending on Domingo de Resurrección (Easter Sunday), there are 57 brotherhoods that pay the religious visits to the Cathedral of Sevilla, the 3rd largest Cathedral of the Christian world, and the largest Gothic one.
Further afield, you'll find Andalucia's landscapes dramatic and soothing, from OLIVE GROVES for miles and miles in Jaen, to CRAGGY MOUNTAIN roads in Grazalema. ORANGE trees in BLOSSOM with their sweet fragrance filling all your senses.
Absolutamente PRECIOSO.
In Sevilla check out Albahaca, awesome restaurant in Plaza Santa Cruz, where, incidentally you can catch an excellent FLAMENCO show at Los Gallos.
