Training

On the way to an outstanding, private flamenco performance given at the Granada Flamenco Society, (the first one ever convened,) I stumbled across some fellows training for the easter parade. They have to carry the floats, supporting various statues and relics from their local church, around the alleys and byways of old Granada. I dont have the courage to drive my van down some of these streets, so imagine what it must be like for 32 blokes to carry a float with a bigger footprint than my camper around. Not only do they have to manoeuvre around parking bollards and corners but they also have to lower the float (sometimes even on their knees) to pass under arches and doorways! No wonder they train with these concrete blocks.En savoir plus
