Costaleros carry the pasos in the processions of the brotherhoods. Up to 50 costaleros carry 1 sculpture in the procession through Seville, which can take up to 4 or 5 hours. The costaleros change several times. They carry 70 to 100 kg each, the sculptures weigh 1000 kg or much more. The costaleros used to be dock workers but now this task has been taken over by members of the brotherhood. http://iamoneworld.com
