Holy Week in Spain is celebrated in almost every Spanish city during the last week of Lent, which precedes Easter. The traditions celebrate the brotherhoods that were formed during the Baroque Period, and honors Catholicism and a deep sense of family tradition. Though each city’s celebrations look very different from one another, Andalusia is known for being among the most breathtaking of the bunch, opting for a more colorful and joyful series of events. The events of the week largely surround the processionals, with floats, banners, and costume designed to match the ornate ideals. Between and surrounding the day-and-night-long processionals, however, are parties that pour out of homes, cafes, and bars alike.
