They make their way from the individual churches, but both use the same inner city loop course making watching an easy task.
I'll keep this one straight to the point, but recommend you start, if you haven't already, with the posting Semana Senta: something else again which explains the Semana Santa phenomenon. Some of the earlier postings also show the processions in more detail.
The Cofradía del Consuelo procession starts pretty much the same way: bands, hooded devotees, altar boys, incense carrying girls.
This Cofradía carries one trono Cristo an and two tronos of the Virgin. The Christ throne is Cristo de la Misericordia:
the beautiful Virgen de los Afligidos del trono de la Misericordia
It takes a bit to keep the kids' interest for the near five hours the processions take to finish.
The second trono de Virgen is the magnificent Nuestra Señora la Virgen del Consuelo.
It´s the same pattern for the second procession of Confradía de Los Delores. The same pomp and ceremony.
though I hadn´t seen anything quite like this all week. Unusual attire, and bagpipes!
The first of the two Cristo tronos is El Señor Atado a la Columna ...
and the second, was El Señor Caido.
And the simply beautiful, and as usual, weeping Virgen Nuestra Señora de los Delores Coronada.
Despite a similarity each evening, crowds still throng every night. Our interest was held, and we also went each night.
