 | | In Luque, women carry the throne. |
By Brenda Padilla
Semana Santa is celebrated in Córdoba capital and throughout the province with numerous villages having obtained the government stamp of approval that everyone seems interested in these days “Fiesta of National Touristic Andalucia” Those villages are:
Aguilar de la Frontera
Baena
Bujalance
Montoro
Montilla
Pozo Blanco
Puente Genil
Cabra
Priego de Córdoba
Luque
The town of Baena is also known for a special attraction that shows up during the Holy Week processions. This is a character known as “The Jew” who is dressed to the hilt in a red jacket and black pants with a silk scarf and feathered hat who goes about beating a drum in the streets – adding ambience, we suppose!
