Hi Jan,
We went to the Good Friday Parade in Torrevieja and the floats were amazing.
There was normally a person with a banner, the penitents (who looked like Ku Klux Klan) with children who gave out sweets, then penitents tied together (anyone know why?) then the ladies dressed in black, then the float followed lastly by a marching band. There were various chickens on floats and again, don't know why.
I will put some pictures up in the picture gallery.

Hi Laura,
Sounds lovely - Wish we could have been there this Easter to go to one of the parades. Look forward to seeing your photos.
I copied this from another Semana Santa topic which may explain the chaining together of the Penitents (not sure about the chickens though!):
"A common feature in Spain is the almost general usage of the nazareno or penitential robe for some of the participants in the processions. This garment consists in a tunic, a hood with conical tip (capirote) used to conceal the face of the wearer, and sometimes a cloak. The exact colors and forms of these robes depend on the particular procession. The robes were widely used in the medieval period for penitents, who could demonstrate their penance while still masking their identity. These nazarenos carry processional candles or rough-hewn wooden crosses, may walk the city streets barefoot, and, in some places may carry shackles and chains on their feet as penance".

Thanks for the explanation Jan. I will upload some pictures after I have resized them because the file size was too big.
