The Easter Week (Semana Santa) is a period of the year with a lot of meaning for Spanish culture, specially in our Andalusia region. La Axarquía is not an exception. Every village has its own traditions, processions and above all, a great deal of emotion, but the Easter Week in Vélez-Málaga is another level. Here, tradition, heritage, culture and religion are all combined in a celebration where day and night the streets are filled with masses of flowers, the beat of the drums, and of course the art of religious sculpture. If you have ever wondered why this week is so special for our region, we invite you to discover it with us. We will pick you up and take you firstly to the coziest cafeteria in Vélez-Málaga, where we will taste the flavours of the Semana Santa in Vélez-Málaga.
