Semana Santa/Holly Week.

Every year, some communities in Spain celebrate the Passion and Easter with processions that last for about a week. This period is called Semana Santa or "Easter Week" and Seville (Sevilla) is well know for its festivities. Please watch the video below in preparation for class. We will discuss its content in detail, so please come prepared with questions, if you have any.

Next Tuesday we will try to cook monas de Pascua (Easter cake). Please read this link and watch the video below to find out more about this dessert. If I can figure it out, I will try to have a gluten/lactose free version of this recipe available, we will see.

Also, remember to find out the names and location of the ten largest countries in  Western Europe, (you should already know where Spain/España and Portugal are located). And, yes, please learn their Spanish translations: eg. Germany/Alemania, Italy/Italia, etc.

Hasta el martes.
