I leave for Mexico in 4 days. Part of my plan for waiting through this snow - aHHH - was to be able to be in a Spanish country for Holy Week. Spiritually my favorite week of the year; it's also quite colorful in Spanish countries.
I'm not sure how the spiritual gets in here! But it does sound unique,

You'll probably like the politician aspect in this description! And I wasn't even referring to GWHB! - honest.
After days and days of solemn processions, through Semana Santa (Holy Week) and Easter, the people of San Miguel de Allende mark Noon on Easter Sunday by stringing up effigies of Judas and blowing them up (about 20 this year). Often, the "Judas" looks more like a politician (GHWB made it two years ago), or pretty much any character who needs to get blown up.
