Holy Week in Madrid

Holy Week (Semana Santa) in Madrid is one of the city's most important religious and cultural celebrations. While the most famous Holy Week processions are in Seville and Málaga, Madrid offers beautiful, solemn processions through its historic center.

While less extravagant than in Andalusia, Madrid features daily parades of "pasos" (sculptures) carried by brotherhoods through the city center, classical music concerts, and the famous Tamborrada.
