Semana Santa

The festivities begin at Easter with Great Lent (Semana Santa), during which dozens of religious brotherhoods parade through the streets in processions on platforms, dressed in their characteristic conical hats. Two weeks later, the Feria de Abril begins, showcasing the gastronomy and culture of Andalusia. Undoubtedly, both festivals offer a chance to see a new side of the city, but it is worth booking accommodation in advance. Semana Santa is one of the most exciting festivals celebrated in Spain. One of the most important parts of Semana Santa is the religious procession, consisting of long lines of nazarenos, or penitents, who walk slowly carrying candles, torches, wooden crosses and ornate "Pasos", or platforms.
