The Fiestas of Altea: Sunday
Well on Sunday there was Mass and a procession later in the day. At Mass, the priest told that congregation that if we wanted to help that we should come a little early. I did so and ended up being the very first person carrying a large processional crucifix all around town for about 2 hours in front of 2 large floats, 2 bands, and more than 200 people. This also means that I have very few photos of the whole deal. Here's the ones I do have toward the end.
