Holy Week is a huge event, with lavish processions taking place throughout the week. The most spectacular are held in Murcia City, Cartagena, Jumilla, Lorca and Cieza.
-
Every town and village has parades and processions during Holy Week, but the Murcia region in particular is renowned for its spectacular celebrations. The Holy Week processions in Lorca, Murcia City, Cartagena, Mula and Moratalla are all justifiably famous, but those in Alicante (Alacant) and Orihuela are also well worth seeing (see Francisco Salzillo (1707–1783)).
-
Good Friday has a special significance in Murcia City. The week’s processions culminate with a parade of gilded pasos (floats) featuring sculptures by the Baroque artist Francisco Salzillo (see Francisco Salzillo (1707–1783)).
