A spring visit shaped by Seville's living Holy Week traditions. Approach the processions as religious and community events, with time to explore the wider heritage city between them.

Destination background

Holy Week in Seville is one of two biggest annual festivals in Sevilla, Andalucía, Spain, the other being the Feria de Abril, which follows two weeks later. It is celebrated in the week leading up to Easter, and features the procession of pasos, floats of lifelike wooden sculptures of individual scenes of sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary, or images of the grieving Virgin Mary.
