One day we went to Pollenca old town and climbed the Calvari steps. There are 365 steps to a church at the top. Apparently, depending on what you read, there are 365 steps, one for every day of the year or one for every sin!!
On Good Friday there is a torchlight procession from the church at the top all down the steps carrying an efigy of Jesus. Although we were in Mallorca for Easter we didn't go to the service as the weather was awful.
I was fascinated by the beautiful houses that were all the way up the steps. Truly stunning buildings. Mind you, can you imagine being the postman?? Climbing all that way in the rain/snow etc?? It was a fab day out though.
