Vendors

Cuaresma processions are a lot like Fourth of July parades, except they don't take place in July. One feature that is always present is the vendor, the off-the-radar sales person who justs tries to make a few Q to feed his family as part of the informal economy (untaxed, unreported). You have to wonder how they are able to make enough for it to be worthwhile, since there are so many of them.

Cotton candy is popular.

The variety salesman with his goods attached to a folding screen that he can pick up and take along the processional route.

Things that turn in the wind.

The toy store moved to find more customers.

Need shades? They'll make you look cool.
Got to keep moving if you're going to make any money.

Of course, you've got to have your food stands.
