In Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, tradition, memory and folklore, walk the streets on the shoulders of a people who proudly displays a legacy rooted in their culture for centuries.
Religious-based images and traditions permeate the lives of all the people who inhabit Seville. Historically, the city's mariquitas ("sissies") have also assimilated them in their childhood and, through them, have been creating their own encounter spaces and their own codes.
