Easter Sunday In Carcabuey
Carcabuey is a little village situated in the heart of Andalucía. Their citizens live from the agriculture, especially the agriculture of olives. Our olive oil has been considered several times as the best world olive extra oil in the world. But this is not the unique wonderful thing of this stunning village. Carcabuey is an amazing place in which spending your holidays at any season of the year is always a good bet.
Easter Sunday is an especial day. We celebrate it as if it would be carnival. It dates back over 300 years, when a religious brotherhood included a real fast and penance in Easter. When this week ended, people celebrated a big party in order to satiate the previous shortage. As the people who belonged to this brotherhood dressed in purple, we call Purple Sunday to the Easter Sunday.
In the morning, people go out to enjoy the "murgas", who go over the village making an exersice of critique about, not only the behaviour of different citizens, but also the local goverment. They make this show dressin up with costume according a theme they are selected, and singing the critical letters while travelling in a customized float too.
Just after lunch time, all people go back at home in order to dress up. At 5 o'clock a parade begins from a historic square of the village and go over the main streets, where everypeople join to them. This parade is made up of people dressed up and led by a steel drum band. On hour later, there are no people in streets without wearing a costume. The party goes on in the streets where the pubs and tavernas have built temporal bars and have got out their sound system outside and there is music everywhere.
At night, a gig begins playing cover versions that people sing along and dance until 6 or 7 in the morning, when the party finishs with a communal breakfast in the main square.
