Carmen Borrego and Terelu Campos are already enjoying their family tradition: Holy Week. The Campos sisters are devout followers of this festivity and usually don't miss the processions held in Málaga. It is there where Carmen and Terelu have confessed how closely they are connected to the brotherhood their mother belonged to.
"We have always been very close, but now that my mother is not here, even more so," Terelu explained, revealing the change they have experienced. Holy Week in Málaga is a festivity that has united the Campos family for years. This year, although María Teresa's absence is still felt, the arrival of new members adds a touch of joy.
Carmen Borrego and Terelu Campos open up during Holy Week
For Carmen Borrego and Terelu Campos, Holy Week is a family tradition that goes beyond the processions. The Campos family has a long tradition of celebrating this festivity as devout followers of the brotherhoods. This year, although María Teresa's absence continues to weigh heavily, there are reasons to enjoy it even more.
With excitement in their first steps, Carmen and Terelu have confessed how closely they are connected to two specific brotherhoods. Especially to the one Teresa belonged to for years. "We have always been very close, but now that my mother is not here, even more so," they explained, revealing the change they have experienced.
The memory of María Teresa remains very present, especially during Holy Week. She never missed the El Cautivo procession that paraded through the streets of Málaga yesterday, Monday. Carmen and Terelu have continued with that tradition, although, as Borrego explains, "the one who lives Holy Week in Málaga the most is my sister."
In Carmen's case, although she is also devout, her memory of this festivity is tied to family and not so much to the processions. "For me, Holy Week is my family, my childhood, my grandparents, my uncles, my cousins," she noted.
Now it is their turn to continue the legacy and pass on the meaning of these days to their own. Both have become grandmothers, and this gives a complete twist to the way they enjoy these festivities.
Carmen Borrego and Terelu Campos continue the family tradition
This year, Holy Week for Carmen and Terelu has a special meaning. In the case of the younger Campos, she has finally left behind the conflicts she had been having with her son, José María Almoguera. This opens up the possibility for her to enjoy her grandson and instill in him her passion for this festivity.
"I'm eager to take my grandson to Holy Week in Málaga," Carmen explained to La Razón. She considers it essential to pass on these values and memories to the new generations, as María Teresa did with them. Holy Week thus becomes a perfect occasion to strengthen family ties and enjoy time together.
Although this year Carmen has decided to spend these holidays in Madrid, as she doesn't have many days to reunite with her family. For her, it is not a problem, as she has confessed, "although there is a very religious part, in our case, it is more about tradition."
"We highly value the family tradition, what we have been taught since we were little, and what we have instilled in our children," she emphasizes. Terelu, on the other hand, has traveled to Málaga to attend the processions she is devoted to and shared with her mother.
The collaborator has not been alone, as Alejandra Rubio and Carlo have traveled to the Andalusian capital with their son. It has been the first year that Terelu enjoys these dates as a grandmother, and the emotion has been very present.
