Easter - Santa Semana - Holy Week
This is a huge celebration in the Region of Murcia, the Region almost comes to a standstill for this most celebrated time in the Christian calender. The sombre, but colourful processions are held in most towns. Some of the most spectacular can be seen in Lorca, Murcia and Cartagena. The Easter fiesta in Lorca is of particular note, a fabulous procession of Romans, Christians and even Egyptians some on elaborate floats while others are on horseback or in chariots. |
