In the USA, April 15th is tax day; in Spain, it is just another working day;
but in Alicante, it is one of the major local holidays, called Santa Faz. The
heart of the fiesta is an 8 km walk from the cathedral to a monastery in the
suburbs, attended by a number of people roughly equal to the population of
Alicante. So on Thursday, I got out early and walked the route along with the
pilgrims and my M8:

As always, comments and critique are welcome and appreciated.
