Vindicated

Our decision not to go down to Torrevieja for the Good Friday parade turned out to be the right one.

Apparently, the rain poured down in Torrevieja between 6 and 8 pm. By 8:20 it had ceased and remained dry for the rest of the night. By then, the president of the Junta Mayor, José Pedro Aldeguer along with the parish priest Manuel Martínez and other presidents of the cofradias had already decided to cancel the procession. So the thousands who had turned up to watch the pasos had to leave disappointed.

The procession for "el Ecuentro", scheduled to take place this morning at 8am in Torrrevieja will have gone ahead though.
