Holy Week Special Tour - Origin and Evolution

Enjoy one of the most important festivities in the city.

Spring is one of those seasons of the year that you have to experience in Seville. It is absolutely spectacular and indescribable. Not only because of the perfect weather, but also because of the smell of orange blossom mixed with the joyful atmosphere of the city, which is getting ready for one of its most important festivals.

Holy Week is a whole experience that must be lived hand in hand with someone who understands it, loves it and guides us through its crowded streets. The centuries-old mysteries and rituals of the brotherhoods, the history of this complex display of religious and secular arts and feelings. Every year, on the first full moon of spring, for a week the city is paralysed and absorbed in itself and its celebration. The religious carvings of the best Baroque, the embroidery in gold and silk thread, the silver and gold work fills the streets, accompanied by the noise, the smell of incense, the music… and it goes from the funereal sobriety of a Gran Poder to the overflowing joy of the Macarena. We cannot explain the feelings and sensations, but we can explain the history, the whys, the hows, the whens and the whos?

Enjoy a unique and unforgettable experience with a local guide.
