Before You Die: Santa Semana in Seville by Peter D Smith
Watch, or take part in, the Semana Santa (Holy Week) parade in Seville, when a dozen churches process through the streets carrying images of the Virgin and Jesus. The costumes are flamboyant, the singing incredible, the emotion overwhelming — and after that you can have lunch near the Cathedral, which also houses the remains of (Cristobel Colon) Christopher Columbus.
