I found this article written by journalist Pallavi Iyer worth reading. Besides being well written, its descriptive narrative, reminds you of comparative anthropology . I found it interesting how medieval religious rituals/ festivals were still relevant to society in modern Spain.
For your reading!

Excerpt:
"Semana santa is heady stuff. I’d never imagined a brew with ingredients that included pagan roots, Catholic theology, Muharram-style flagellation, Ganesh Chaturthi-reminiscent processions, and outfits resonant of both Japanese construction workers and the Ku Klux Clan!
But the true marvel of the evening in Zafra was the accompanying music: a haunting mix of brass and drums."
