Instead Holy Week Is an interminable series of rejoicings, and celebrations of many kinds. There are seven successive days of processions and religious celebrations In which all the inhabitants participate, from the aristocracy down to the humblest. One after another the various societies, each wearing its distinctive hood, parade through the streets carrying their Images, some remarkable for their artistry, some for their richness, all tor their sumptuousness. Hull fights also add to the gaiety of Holy Week. These bull fights, in which th best toreadors of the country assemble to dlspmch the most bulls, begin by a drive In which the bulls are driven by their herdsmen by night through those parts of the city most frequented by day This drive Is a spectacle full of Interest, especially when one of the bulls breaks ranks and tries to escape. In Holy Week also occurs the famous proces no-abl- e slon In which coaches decorated in Spanish style parade to the place called Renl de In vVhlch.are the numerous buildings of the clubs, socletiesf and individuals which form thefr headquarters', there to hold balls and celebration and invite their friends to see and hear the danCCs and sengs.
