Procession for the Sacred Heart fiesta, El Paso

It’s the Sacred Heart fiesta in El Paso this weekend, where they make archways and beautiful salt carpets. They start by putting down white salt –kilos and kilos of it from the salt pans in the southern tip of the island. They carefully put a stencil on top, and spray on the various colours until the design’s complete.

They also make wonderful archways, similar to those in Mazo. More details and photos at this page.

The procession will be on Sunday evening.
