| Snow on the orange trees in the square |
Imagine our surprise to wake up, look out the window and see snow falling this morning! We heard it was the first snow in five years. It was also Andalucia Day, which meant a holiday for school children.
We caught a train to Ronda, a small hill town to the west, perched on the side of a gorge. Walking around, we saw a high school band, and men carrying a heavy looking platform. This we thought was a protest of some sort, but when we asked, it turned out to be a practice session for Semana Santa (Easter), when they'll carry a heavy statue.

Hi Margaret,
This brought back many memories for me. Our trip to Ronda was on a bus winding back and forth on hairpin turns. We watched Semana Santa parades in Marbella. It was very interesting. Linda
