WebsiteHoly Week is a time of intense religious passion here, as elsewhere in Spain. The religious brotherhoods attached to each church organize processions through the city streets carrying images of Christ, saints and virgins. Each float is followed by lines of nazarenos (the faithful who wear long gowns and cover their heads and faces with conical hats), holding candles and banners. The most atmospheric procession of the week transports the Cristo de los Gitanos (Gypsy Christ) through Sacromonte to the sound of saetas (religious flamenco song). It normally takes around 14 hours to run its course and goes throughout the night. The tourist office produces a booklet with the routes and times of every procession so you can choose which to see.
