As we were returning to our hotel in Toledo, we found our way blocked by a
fairly long procession. I suspect that it started at a large church at the
top of the hill.
The desk staff at the hotel (very nearby) didn’t know what the occasion was,
and I was able to learn nothing from Señor Google. Professor Wikipedia says
that rosemary (fastened to sticks in the last couple of images) can be a
symbol of remembrance in European funerals, but the atmosphere of this crowd
was festive rather than funereal.
Comments and enlightenment welcome!

I can't actually see the photos because the internet is being an asshole this
afternoon, but a few thoughts occur ...
Who is the patron saint of the large church on the hill? When is that saint's
day?
