Description:
| Alfombras / The Art of Carpetmaking for Semana Santa (Holy Week) workshop. No where is Holy Week more spectacular than in Antigua. Families design and construct carpets made of sawdust, pine needles and flowers in the streets in front of their homes - as their fathers and grandfather's did before them. learn about the history of carpetmaking (it came from Sevilla, Spain), then also participate in the process of designing and making our own 'alfombra'. It is truly a spectacular sight. Join us for a truly once in a lifetime fabulous experience!!
