What it is

Semana Santa — Las Turbas explained

At dawn on Good Friday drums and horns roar as the 'drunkards' turba mocks Jesus on the way to Calvary through the hanging-house streets.

Dates can shift by a day or two when a local council moves the programme to a weekend, so confirm with the town hall before booking non-refundable travel. Accommodation in Cuenca tends to sell out weeks ahead of the festival and prices rise sharply on the main night.
