HOLY WEEK

Two very well known and very different are the famous "Fiestas" in Malaga, in Spring The Holy Week and in summer, in August the "Feria".

Malaga's Holy Week, is a very special one, baroque and noisy. The people come to the streets, packing the sidewalks, to watch its Christs and Virgins which on fabulous thrones are processioned, showing step by step the history of Christ Passion and his mother, the Virgin Mary sorrows. Each Malagueñan suffering themselves the same grief.

The "Saeta", a song which express all the sorrow the singer feels, together with the "ole" and the music of the bands and the smell of flowers and candles, originate an enrapture and delirious atmosphere.
