Sitting and talkingkerb along the mid section of Carrer de la Reina, on the procession route
On Semana Santa Marinera procession days folding chairs appear along the Reina kerb hours before anything passes, and families hold the same few metres of pavement year after year. If you didn't grow up with a stretch, you stand at a cross-street corner instead.

The shaded benches ringing the cross are the old Canyamelar's parliament — the same faces mid-morning and again once the sun drops. The newer terraces are a street away and the two crowds barely overlap.
