Easter in Spain

Hi,
just came back from a great trip to Spain. Spent two days in Barcelona and then we went to Jerez for 4 days. My sister has been living in Jerez the last two months as part of an exchangeprogram during her apprenticeship. She's working at a school in Jerez, both learning spanish and teaching english.

Barcelona was great. A big city, but it didn't really feel that big. We lived in the citycenter, just of La Rambla in the old part of town. Great location, and we got to see a lot of stuff, even if we just had two days.







Friday we jumped on a plane to Jerez. We almost didn't make it, but a very nice lady at the airport helped us. Jerez is a small city in the south of Spain. They have very little tourists, and they speak no english at all. It really is a great place, beautyful streets and nice and helpful people. Helle showed us around, and we got to see a few easterparades. They have parades from thursday to sunday. And every parade shows a bit of the easter-story from the bible. Amazing experience! We also ate a lot of nice food and just relaxed. Very good trip! :)

Cool pics. Are the black-hooded guys, like...reverse KKK?

Did you go to Madrid at all? I'm not sure if it was just the area they were in or what, but I have heard from a couple of people that Madrid is very English-based, unlike the rest of Spain.

Glad you had fun. :)
