Semana Santa
A week long celebration, taking place the week before Easter. Semana Santa is an important religious event, consisting of church masses and street processions. These traditions have been observed throughout Spain since the 16th Century. Communities rehearse their processions and create lavish floats, working for several months every year to prepare.
This year all of the processions have unfortunately been canceled due to the worldwide pandemic.
