Guatemala city has been quite vivid! We´ve been lucky to be there when the celebrations for the Holy week have started. Fortunately, we stayed in a ¨chillero¨ hostel (
Pension Meza) with beautiful happy people!! As Nere told you before, supposedly commandante Che Guevara have passed from this hostel, which fact made it even more wonderful!

Whole streets were decorated with colorful mosaics. Theparade with the tomb of Jesus is supposed to pass over them. |
|
How the mosaics were made, with small colored grains! Beautiful and quite laborious. |

The parade starts. |

It was a huuuuuuuuge gigantic tomb, more than 60 men, dressed in traditional cloaks, were carrying it! |

Wonderful philarmonic orchestra was playing veeery good music to accompany the parade! |

As a beautiful greek song says: Borders, irons, railings and fences (Synora, sidera, kagkela kai fraxtes...) |
