Anyone wish they were in Spain during Holy Week?

[Lady Bug]

If I'm not mistaken, I think Holy Week is taken quite seriously in Spain. I kind of wish I were there to see their processions. I also heard that many businesses are closed during that Week because the Week is considered a holiday. I would love to be in an environment where the whole Week is considered a holiday. Sigh.

If I'm wrong about everything, so be it, but ever since I learned about Holy Week in America, I felt that the lifestyle here is not compatible with what Holy Week recommends of us.

Well, I've never been to Spain,
But I kind of like the music.
