My wife Carmen and I spent almost the entire time watching the entire time watching the processions from Malaga Spain. The drums are still going through my head. The processions were wonderful and the size of the crowds were tremendous. The one thing that I really liked were the Legionars entering the port of Malaga and their participation in the Procession. The Legionars have their own song "Novio De Buen Muerte" and in this case it also has a double meaning. Did a little research and now I have that music going through my head and it is almost like a rewind {so much for old age}. We were watching the processions on "Onda Azul" and then my niece in /Spain suggested that we should try "PTV.COM". tried PTV and the coverage was a lot better. Drums, drums, drums and Thrones {Floats} but these all refreshed me a bit

Jaga. That was in the Port of Malaga. That song is the Legionar's song but in this case it does have a double meaning. The Cross is carried all night through the streets of Malga and it weighs about 500 kilos or more. El Senor de Buen Muerte is the patron of the Legion. Always remember that it was Poland and Spain that prevented Europe from becoming Moslem.
