Always coinciding with the last week of Lent the atmosphere created by tradition emotion and sentiment transcends the religious atmosphere and is followed by Catholics and atheists who merge history religion and culture. Between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday it is customary to organize processions to commemorate the Passion of Christ and celebrate the glory of his Resurrection.
Cities like Seville Cordoba Granada or Malaga in Andalusia stand out for the spectacular and colourful nature of their brotherhoods and processions. Flower saetas and the scent of incense and orange blossom embellish the processions of images such as the Cristo del Gran Poder el Cristo de los Gitanos el Cautivo or the Esperanza de Triana that pass through the streets.
Thousands of believers come to pay their respects and curious visitors stop to soak up the atmosphere. The contrast with other cities such as Valladolid Zamora or León located in the northern region of Castilla y León is clear as austerity religious fervor and above all silence reign in these places.
