It's "Good Friday" here in Spain, and today's program includes reports on the costaleros, who carry the heavy floats in the religious processions, and the manolas, who follow the processions as mourners, but who have recently been given a strict dress code to follow, after reported "abuses." The Burial of San Genaro, an irreverant procession in León which was banned for twenty years during the Franco dictatorship is still attracting crowds, as is the Dance of Death, in Verges, Catalonia.
