Every spring, Spain is transformed as its streets fill with incense, silence, drums and emotion. Whether you are a believer or not, Spanish Holy Week is a cultural phenomenon: a blend of art, tradition, spirituality and spectacle that spans generations. From the austere solemnity of Castile to the passion of Andalusia, via the unique traditions of the Mediterranean and the north, the country offers a diversity that is hard to match.
Travelling through Spain at this time of year also means travelling through its history. Every city and town stages the Passion in its own way, adding unique nuances that reflect its character and heritage. And it is precisely in this diversity that the true greatness of Spanish Holy Week lies.
