Going there: The Virgin Mary and her procession will leave from the Parroquía La Dolorosa (one block east from the southeast corner of the old post office) at 10:30 a.m. and meet up with the procession of Jesus of Nazareth on Second Avenue. The procession will then stop in Parque Central for the final performance.
