The ‘Semana Santa’, also known as Holy Week in English, is one of the biggest religious celebrations in the world. The most notable celebration takes place in the Spanish city of Seville from the 1st April to 7th April. The Semana Santa is considered to be the most important event of the year in Spain and both Holy Thursday and Good Friday are now bank holidays in Spain. 

During the Semana Santa celebrations, people flood the streets, whether they are Seville inhabitants or world travellers. Between Palm Sunday and Easter, beautiful and solemn processions take place during the days, followed colourful and lively parties at night. Flamenco dancers dressed in typical costumes with a traditional music from Andalusia bring an incomparable atmosphere, for an unforgettable moment.
