The Spanish Royal family have made an appearance in down town Madrid this Saturday too watch the procession of La Soledad y Desamparo.
It seemed the princess of Asturias had a bit of a hard time hearing her father as the drums from the procession were very loud, but she nonetheless aimed a very welcomed smile to her father.

I couldn't go out and enjoy the processions this year because of the weather, but I had this drawing planned since last year and still hadn't done it, so I figured it was a good time to do so! My atheist self going out of the window when it's Semana Santa lmao.
These two beautiful sculptures from Salamanca's Semana Santa are two of my favourite but unfortunately really not appreciated. Upper one is a Dolorosa by Santiago Montagut (commonly know as Ramona) and lower one is a Piedad by Salvador Carmona.

El hombre mata a Dios con saña, con la misma saña que se mata a un inocente. Todos juntos, anónimos sin rostro, ahogaremos su agonía con un ruido salvaje que brota desde nuestro fondo más irracional.
