Photo above - An opportunity to view the processions from balcony is highly appreciated.
The most important squares are furnished with benches reserved for paying
audience. If you want to make sure that you see the processions, you have to
book a seat in one of the central spots or an upstairs hotel room with a
balcony or a window facing the streets or squares where the brotherhoods march.
Otherwise you may get only a glimpse of the thousands of pointed hoods of the
brothers and the plumes ornating the helmets of legionaries, and miss all the
details of the massive floats.

Another trouble is that you may not be able to leave easily a crowded square when you would like to. Squashed into middle of thousands of people who patiently wait for hours to see their favourite processions can be an unpleasant experience.
