Baena -- the heart of olive oil production

Baena is a very special place. Known not only for the best olive oil in Spain, but for its unique Holy Week celebration which people prepare for during the whole year. They have a custom in which people dress up as Judios Coliblancos and Judios Colinegros. There are 2000 drummers in processions. I got to meet the drum maker who also makes the colinegro braids. Also the tailor. It was a wonderful place to visit.
