Palm Sunday

Holy Week in Granada officially begins with Palm Sunday, one of the most joyful and crowded days. From early morning, the city comes alive with the departure of La Borriquilla , which represents Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem and offers a festive, family-friendly and colourful scene.

Throughout the day, other emblematic processions such as La Santa Cena, La Sentencia and El Cristo Despojado make their way through the historic centre, marking the start of a week in which tradition, devotion and emotion take over every corner of Granada.

Holy Monday and Tuesday

Holy Monday is an ideal day to enjoy the processions at a more leisurely pace, with beloved departures such as Nuestro Padre Jesús del Rescate , one of the most popular images of devotion, or Huerto de los Olivos .

Holy Tuesday intensifies the emotion with processions of a strong symbolic nature, such as Jesús del Gran Poder , Vía Crucis or Esperanza y Trabajo . As night falls, the historic centre is enveloped in an atmosphere of respect and contemplation, where the sound of drums and the light of candles create scenes of great beauty.

Holy Wednesday and Thursday

Holy Wednesday is one of the most emblematic days. Well-known processions such as Los Gitanos , with the Cristo del Consuelo, turn the night into a unique experience, full of emotion and symbolism, especially in the city's most characteristic historical settings.

The solemnity reaches its peak on Holy Thursday , especially during the night. Brotherhoods such as Jesús del Silencio, La Concha and La Aurora are the protagonists of some of the most moving scenes of the whole week, with an atmosphere of absolute respect and contemplation that transforms the centre of Granada.

Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday

Good Friday is the most sober and moving day of Holy Week in Granada. Processions such as the Santo Sepulcro or the Soledad de San Jerónimo represent mourning and reflection, with routes laden with symbolism and a deeply solemn atmosphere from morning to night.

Holy Saturday maintains this tone of contemplation, awaiting the final outcome of the week. And on Easter Sunday , Granada regains its light and joy with the procession of the Resurrected Christ , which brings Holy Week to a close with a message of hope, renewal and celebration.
