What it is

Semana Santa explained

Málaga's thrones are far bigger than Seville's floats and carried by hundreds of bearers, with military escorts and a legionary landing on Holy Thursday.

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 Málaga tends to sell out weeks ahead of the festival and prices rise sharply on the main night.
