SEMANA SANTA or SABADO DE GLORIA

Hello everyone,
Does Colombia celebrate Semana Santa like in Mexico? I know the Feria de las Flores is a important festival in Medellin which has a Calbagata and is aweome! But does Colombia have any large Ferias for the Semana Santa/Sabado de Gloria?

Here is video of two years (07&08)of the festival in Jerez, Zacatecas Mexico. This Feria is de Sabado de Gloria and it is nothing but party dancing and having fun. The whole country shuts down for this Catholic week, with dancing, boozing, cockfights etc.....ironic I know!

I love those dancing horses, and In the heat I'd rather drink the beer than throw it.....LOL ;)

Easter/Semana Santa is coming up.

Lots of vacations are taken so Cartagena and Santa Marta will be maxed out. The places I have mentioned required advance reservations-both air and rooms.
