Semana Santa at Aguilas. 10 minutes drive away Aguilas celebrates Easter in a very Spanish way with 'Semana Sanata' which is some 5 days of religious processions by people from the town, some at night some during the day, quite a spectacle and well worth seeing.
Here's an alternative break. This Easter we flew to Madrid stayed three nights and hired a car for 4 more relaxing days in San Juan de los Terreros. Very easy to do, flights are pretty similar in cost, the drive is 5 hours, costs less than an internal flight and about the same as the train. (one point is our car hire added a $50 one way charge) A stay at the excellent and small Artistic B&B situated right in the middle of the Madrid museum district (www.artisticbandb.com) made best use of the time we had with great hosts Paola & Rudolph, (the last photo is their breakfast room, the one before Casa Gonzalez a highly recommended eating place just yards from the hotel). Culture and sun, a good mix! |
