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!
The village of Luque is also unusual in that it has two Hermandades (Brotherhoods) comprised of women. Should we call them sisterhoods? More>
