Holy week in Avilés, by Aitor Alonso, 2I G

Of all the cities of Asturias only the processions in Aviles are important for its population. Many religious brotherhoods parade in the streets, but the most famous one all over the region is one called “San Juaninos”. Their saint is San Juan, and they are well known thanks to their dance.

When they parade, the Saint is moved very fast and the members of the brotherhood move quickly too. They move from left to right. Their uniform is a white hood, a red cap and a blue tunic. You can see their parade in you tube on the internet because a lot of tourists made films.
