Parada de la Virgen


I know it has been too long since i updated this blog, especially since some followers do not have facebook. I'll put up some pictures, and try to tell about the last month, even though so much has happened this seems like an insurmountable task. A lot has happened in Granada and I have become a worldly traveler...actually. This is a picture of a parade in Granada where they celebrate the virgin of Granada by carrying her down the street and around the town before placing her back in her place in the church. Tons of people watched from balconies, the streets, etc. It was really interesting if not that much fun. They also had a special cake called the Torta de la Virgen (virgin's cake) that they only make 2 days out of the year. It was really not that good, we got it all excited, but then we realized, if it was good enough to make all year round, they probably would.
