Quite a mass of humanity in tight quarters. Nice images. I see, once
more, you managed to find a photogenic doggie along the way. :-)

Thursday was a holiday in Alicante, devoted to Santa Faz, a tradition going back 500
years. A procession of many thousands of pilgrims begins at the cathedral in the
centre early in the morning and reaches the monastery of Santa Faz, about 8 km to the
north, around 10 a.m. The monastery houses an important relic brought here from the
Vatican in the 15th century, a piece of cloth supposedly used to wipe Jesus’s
face on his way to crucification. On this one day a year, the relic is displayed on
the square in front of the monastery, a mass is said, and then people
rest/eat/drink/party according to temperament and need. I joined the procession with
my bicycle and my camera, which resulted in this gallery of 50 images:

More explanations are included in the gallery description and the captions.
As always, comments and critique are welcome and appreciated.
