Exploring Holy Week in Barcelona
Barcelona, with its rich history and tradition, is transformed during Holy Week. The religious processions are the core of these festivities, where brotherhoods parade through the street with their impressive floats. Some of the best known include the Procesión del Sant Sepulcre and the Procesión del Cristo de Lepanto. These processions, along with the sacred music and traditional costumes, offer a unique visual and emotional experience.
But Holy Week is not just about devotion. Barcelona combines its religious fervour with a series of cultural events. Sacred music concerts at the Basílica de Santa Maria del Mar, religious art exhibitions and theatrical performances related to the Passion of Christ are just some of the activities on offer.
And let’s not forget the gastronomy. During Holy Week, Barcelona is filled with traditional delicacies such as torrijas, buñuelos and monas de pascua. Local markets offer fresh and traditional produce, and many restaurants put on special menus to celebrate this time of year.
