After we had filled our bellies, we began to walk around to check out the scene, when what to our wondering eyes should appear, but alas, a processional as part of the city’s Holy Week celebration.This was the representation of the Virgin Mary that we saw as it was leaving Santiago de Compostela's Cathedral. It was truly impressive to see the costaleros, the people who carry the weight of the figure through the streets, manage such a large mass while feeling their way along the steep steps heading away from the cathedral's main entrance.
