Costaleros infantiles en Villarrubia de los Ojos

http://www.rtvcm.es The children of Villarrubia de los Ojos, none older than fourteen, already know what it means to carry the weight of a Holy Week float. To the beat of the drum, these children, no more than 14 years old, mark each step, already familiar with Holy Week. Youngsters who don't want to miss the opportunity to contribute to Holy Week in Villarrubia de los Ojos. If these fifty children belong to the "whites" (a group of bearers), these more than forty belong to the "purples" (a group of bearers of purple floats), children led by Francisco, who at only 22 years old is the youngest foreman in the province. He has experienced it since childhood; his family has participated in Holy Week, like the more than 5,000 members of the brotherhoods in this town. Young and old alike are now striving to have their Holy Week declared a Regional Tourist Interest. (03-04-2012)
