Semana Santa in Spain: Which Cities to See Semana Santa in Spain

Semana Santa in Spain: Salamanca & Other Cities in Castilla-Leon

Apart from Zamora, Valladolid and Leon, there are other cities worth seeing in Castilla-Leon, in particular Salamanca, Avila and Segovia.

Salamanca

There are important evening processions from the first Friday until the last Saturday (not on the first Saturday). Towards the end of the week there are more processions, with events during Wednesday night/Thursday morning and Thursday Night/Friday Morning and Friday Night/Saturday morning.

On Easter Sunday, events come to a head in Salamanca's magnificent Plaza Mayor, with a reenactment of the resurrection from midday, along with much singing and dancing.

Segovia & Avila

There are events throughout the week, as at other cities in Castilla-Leon, but nothing that has been given the level of 'international tourist interest'. However, with the spectacular back drops of Segovia's aqueduct and Avila's city walls, it is worth a side trip to check out at least one procession in each of these cities.
