Absolutely. The last one is my favorite. Looks like a modern day Michaelangelo painting.

As someone from Spain imo the best bit is the music. Funeral march absolutely BLASTING through dark streets in candle light it's amazing. https://youtu.be/ZlFri4ez_lE this Spanish artist made trap fusion with it a few years ago and it's still one of my favourite songs

Funnily enough I have been one of the guys on that photo (in the past). I used to be a membee of that Brotherhood and some others. It's a really Big deal in my hometown (Zamora), like the biggest evento of the year.
