Semana Santa in Marbella.

28th March 2024

An event that reflects in an excellent way the traditional Andalusia that identifies the place so much.

Semana Santa (Holy Week) in Andalusia is a celebration rooted in tradition and religious devotion that goes back centuries. This region of southern Spain, known for its fervour and solemnity, hosts one of the most important celebrations in the Catholic liturgical calendar with a unique intensity. 


The passion with which this week is experienced is due to a combination of historical, cultural and religious factors that intertwine to create a moving experience deeply rooted in Andalusian identity.


Andalusia, with its rich history and cultural heritage, has witnessed the influence of various civilisations over the centuries. Semana Santa, with its processions, reflects this rich heritage, fusing Christian elements with ancestral traditions. 


The streets are filled with devotees and spectators, while religious images, some of them centuries old, are carried in procession through the narrow streets of the towns and cities, creating an atmosphere of fervour and recollection.


In Marbella, Semana Santa  takes on a special significance. Although perhaps not as well known as in other parts of Andalusia, Marbella lives this celebration with deep respect and devotion. The processions, which pass through the old town and the main streets of the city, attract locals and visitors alike, creating a unique atmosphere.
