Exactly how does the holiday fall? Is it always the same week? Is it the same week as Spring Break is in the States? Every year? Thanks.

Samana Santa is Holy Week - the week preceeding Easter Sunday. Spring break is somewhere around it depending on the school schedule. If you figure out when Easter is you'll have it pegged.

Let's see Lent is when? That means Easter is when? Spring Break is when? But they change that sometimes. That means ....oh crap....forget it. We'll be there regardless.:lol:
