Excellent photos of the Legion's landing in Malaga with the ship 'Galicia' L-51

Once again, the Spanish Legion has made its traditional landing in the city of Malaga to participate in the Holy Week events.

One of the most striking of these events is the solemn transfer of the Christ of the Good Death, protector of the Legion, by members of the different units of the Legion. This year, as reported by Diario Sur, this symbolic act included the participation of a mixed honor guard made up of legionary ladies and gentlemen from the Headquarters Flag (BCG), the Field Artillery Group and the Logistics Group of the "King Alfonso XIII" II Brigade of the Legion (BRILEG), based in Viator (Almería), accompanied by the BCG War Band and the BRILEG Music Unit.

As is tradition, the legionnaires carried the Christ of the Good Death while singing "El nopvio de la muerte" (The Bridegroom of Death), one of the most famous hymns in the legionnaire's songbook. This year, the major novelty is that the Legion's landing took place aboard the amphibious assault ship "Galicia" L-51, based in Rota (Cádiz). It is the largest ship used in these landings and one of the largest ships in the Spanish Navy.

If you missed this event, you can watch the video of the broadcast by 101TV Málaga here, which shows the landing of the Legion, their parade through the streets of Málaga, and the transfer of the Christ of the Good Death:

As in other years, we must highlight the excellent photos of these events published by the Malaga City Council on their Facebook page (here and here), with fabulous quality You can see some of them here:
