Two Faces of Seville
Written and narrated by IAN WOOLDRIDGE
Within the space of a few weeks, Seville provides two of the world's greatest spectacles - Holy Week and the annual Spring Fair.
Manuel Sanchez Grove is an engine driver on the Spanish Railways. But in Holy Week he exchanges modern technology for medieval religious ceremony. Marking the death of Christ he walks in procession wearing long robes and a pointed hood. Don Angel Peralta is a landowner and an aggressively modern farmer. But his real passion is for horses and bulls. In the bull-ring he practises rejoneo, the aristocratic form of fighting bulls from horseback.
