You can’t miss the tradition of the Andalusian “Semana Santa” that REALLY last 7 days
One cannot fail to attend the religious ritual of “Holy Week” in Andalusia at least once in one’s life. With the Hermandads preparing all year round for the throne processions, you can risk getting stuck when, on the last day, all the hermandads of the city perform their processions. There is a collective feeling of belonging even for those who are not of the Christian-Catholic faith. For a week in the cities, nothing else is talked about, and the preceding weeks are always organised taking into account the limited working hours due to the “Semana Santa”. But the most incredible thing is that, despite the talk of limited hours, officially there are no banking holidays in addition to the usual ones of Holy Friday and Sunday.
Every year the most known Malagueno’s actor Antonio Banderas can’t miss the holy week with his Hermandad Lagrimas y Favores
In the next post I will be glad to present my favourite dish typical of Semana Santa.
Good Holy Week !
