Tonight at 7pm in Alicante one of the most peculiar and spectacular of the Easter processions in this area will take place.
The Hermandad de la Santa Cruz will carry pasos from the Hermitage down the steep steps which lead into the city. Hundreds of of people will line the narrow streets to watch the exhausted costaleros struggle to control the weight of the pasos whilst people reach out from their balconies to touch the effigies of Christ on the cross.
Last year we watched as they televised this very emotional procession on one of the local TV channels.If the indoor aerial gives us a decent signal, we'll be watching it again this year.
