Immerse yourself in over five hundred years of tradition, passion, and joy during Holy Week in Málaga. With decorated thrones, penitents, and processions full of art and emotion, this event is a must-see spectacle, even for those who do not share the same beliefs.

Spectacular thrones weighing up to five tons, carrying religious images, and borne on the shoulders of costaleros, are not the unique elements of the processions. The “Nazarenos”, who accompany the thrones, are dressed in tunics, hoods and gloves, and the women wear “mantillas”, a typical mourning attire. Additionally, the musical bands with their distinctive music, the aroma of flowers, and incense all contribute to the atmosphere of the Holy Week.

Although Holy Week in Málaga offers more than 40 processions, there are some you shouldn’t miss. On Holy Monday, notable processions include that of the “Estudiantes” or the procession of the “Cautivo“, featuring an image of Christ in a white tunic with bound hands. During Holy Wednesday, the tradition of releasing a prisoner takes place in the procession known as “El Rico“. Undoubtedly, the procession of the Spanish Legion is one of the most popular. On the morning of Holy Thursday, they disembark at the port carrying the “Cristo de la Buena Muerte de Mena” (the Christ of the Good Death of Mena), while singing the anthem of “El Novio de la muerte” and in the afternoon, they lead their procession. The processions of Holy Friday are closed by the Order of Servitas, with street lights dimming as they pass by.

To enjoy Holy Week in Malaga, you can check the routes of the processions or simply go to the official route where you can see all the processions (Plaza de la Constitución, Calle Larios, Calle Atarazanas, Alameda Principal, Plaza de la Marina, Plaza del Obispo). Among the processions, enjoy the various activities offered by the city as cultural visits or tasting of traditional cuisine.

Remember that the centre of the city is full of locals and visitors and processions usually last for hours. Whether as a couple, as a family or with friends, with patience and enthusiasm, it is worth visiting Malaga during the Holy Week, because it offers an unforgettable experience.

The gastronomy is a big part of the Easter in Malaga as well. It offers unique recipes that complement the tradition of this holiday. Meat is replaced by fish, usually by cod (el bacalao) for religious reasons. Potaje (the stews), buñuelos de bacalao (salt cod croquettes) or arroz caldoso (broth rice soup) are quite popular. As for sweets, Malaga offers the typical pestiños, sweet honey fritters with cinnamon flavour, or the torrijas with sugar and honey flavour. Also, borrachuelos (wine-soaked sponge cakes) and buñuelos (fried dough balls) cannot be missed at the table during these holidays.
