MANILVA THURSDAY NIGHT


THURSDAY 28th/ MARCH 2013.


                                   PROCESSION OF “ JESUS NAZARENO ”
 

After our supper we wrapped up and went out at about 11-30pm to watch the parade as it entered the village; because this year it is starting down at the congress centre it takes longer especially as there is a short but steep hill up to main road by the surgery. The route is longer as well so it was after 1-00am before it reached Calle Mar; as you can see in the pictures below ( Not very good due to the time! ) It was good turnout considering the time as we walked along with band playing the haunting ‘Marchas’ Tonight there are two parades, one at 7-30pm for the ‘Entierr y Ntra. Sra. De La Soledad’and much later a 1-00am the ‘Silent’ parade- watch this space.

Before we went out we were watching on the main Andalusia Channel ‘1 Canal Sur TV ’ there extensive coverage of the grand parades in the various cities; Malaga,Granada,Jaen, Seville,Cordoba etc. and so I took the pictures above off the main large screen TV – the larger the city,the larger the ‘Tronos’and more of them! Some of them are spectacular – next year we are going to Malaga on the council coach to take in the atmosphere.
