Easter in Madrid

Thursday to Sunday this week was Easter, or Semana Santa, in Madrid. Madrid is popular for its Easter processions which make there way through the old parts of the city. These are very old traditions in this very old Roman Catholic city. We also discovered another holiday tradition at our local bakery, which is a minute walk away. The special Easter desserts are called torrijas. They are delicious French toast like desserts. more photos
