Easter in Bullas
Bullas is a little town in Murcia near Caravaca. The Holy Week starts on Maundy Thursday. There are four brotherhoods which parade every day with their images and with Nazarenes dressed in different colours. During processions nazarenes give sweet to people who are watching them. Nazarenes are dressed with purple, red, white and black robes and they also wear pointed hoods and carry candles. On Good Friday some women parade next to the Virgin. They wear black dresses and an enormous hairpin and a mantilla. They are called "Manolas"
